📄 Abstract: Calcaneal Lengthening Osteotomy is a surgical technique to correct flexible flat foot deformities in patients who did not show any change in their symptoms after conservative treatment. In this study, the effects of CLO on the kinematic and kinetic changes of gait was analyzed and the clinical and quality of life improvements in children treated by CLO for moderate to severe symptomatic flexible flat foot deformities were assessed. Participants were seven adolescents (13 feet) with symptomatic FFF who underwent during 2019–2022 and seven (10 feet) healthy children as control group. Three items were evaluated in each foot before and after surgery including: 1. Clinical examination 2.quality of life (using Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory version 4 questionnaire) 3. Gait analysis (Vicon motion systems, Oxford metrics Inc., UK). Also, the kinetic and kinematic analysis between patients and healthy groups were compared. Kinematic results of control was significantly better than FFF group. Ankle range of motion(32.94 ± 13.39 compared to 32.94 ± 13.39,P-Value:0.01),foot progression angle (−9.26 ± 7.67 compared to −16.07 ± 9.00,P-Value:0.01),and internal rotation of ankle was higher in control group compared to FFF. FFF patients demonstrated improvement in kinematic results after CLO surgery. Foot progression angle was improved after surgery (−11.31 ± 6.07 compared to −16.19 ± 7.06, P-value:0.00), maximum plantar flexion decreased after CLO surgery due to achil tendon procedure during CLO surgery. Kinetic results of FFF patients showed significant increase in ankle Power in coronal and transverse plane, Also knee and hip power showed similar results.Quality of life parameters showed significant improve in all parameters (Physical,Social, emotional and school function), Also ADKE and ADKF improved after surgery. CLO surgery significantly improved patients' quality of life of patients with symptomatic FFF. Also, kinetic results showed improvement in some parameters of gait results after CLO surgery. Thus, our study suggested CLO surgery as an excellent surgical option for symptomatic FFF.
