NCT ID NCT07569835
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 20 people who had surgery as children to correct flatfoot. Researchers want to see if the correction lasts more than 10 years by checking foot structure and pain. They use simple tests like standing on tiptoes and X-rays to measure results.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
calcaneal stop and endorthesis (surgical implants)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could confirm that this surgery provides lasting correction of flatfoot in children, reducing the need for future treatments.
What could go wrong
This is a small, long-term follow-up study with only 20 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. Some patients may have pain or loss of correction over time.
