Planovalgus deformity

Planovalgus deformity is a postural deformity, flat foot typology, very frequent in people with cerebral palsy and often due to muscle imbalance resulting in a predominance of the pronotory versus the supinatory forces.

Flat feet with planovalgus deformity

Treatment

Surgical treatment in the presence of planovalgus deformity can be of two types: [1]

  • Grice-Viladot technique, which is performed if the patient is over 8 years old.
  • Dual arthrodesis technique, which is performed if the patient is over 12 years old.

Both techniques provide for a thirty-day subsequent protection with a plastered knee-high without load.
