Materials and Methods

We reviewed the clinical outcome of patients with a symptomatic flexible flatfoot deformity undergoing this procedure at a mean follow up of 15.3 +/−0.7 years (range 14.4–16.5). We identified 48 patients who underwent surgery by the senior author between 1994 and 1996. We were able to contact 30 patients of whom 20 were available for clinical review. 10 patients participated via telephone interview, and also completed postal questionnaires.
