Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 16 to 65 with symptomatic flexible flatfoot after failure of conservative treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients under 16 or over 65 years old, those with previous foot surgery, autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled blood sugar, osteoporosis, or infections may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study evaluates the radiological and functional outcomes of a modified extra-articular lateral column lengthening procedure aimed at correcting adult acquired flexible flatfoot deformity in patients who have not responded to conservative treatments. The study will measure various angles on weight-bearing lateral foot radiographs, including calcaneal pitch, Meary's angle, lateral talocalcaneal angle, and talonavicular coverage angle to assess the effectiveness of the surgical intervention. Participants will be adults aged 16 to 65 with symptomatic flexible flatfoot. The study is conducted at Assiut University in Egypt.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this procedure could significantly improve foot function and quality of life for patients suffering from flatfoot deformity.
How similar studies have gone: While there may be existing studies on similar surgical interventions, the specific approach and outcomes being assessed in this study may provide novel insights.
