Esiti dell'artroriusso subtalar per piede piatto flessibile pediatrico e adolescenziale: una revisione sistematica che confronta gli impianti metallici con quelli bioassorbabili.

BACKGROUND: Subtalar arthroereisis is widely used to treat flexible flatfoot in growing patients. Metallic implants have historically been standard, whereas bioabsorbable devices have emerged as an alternative that may reduce implant-related symptoms and avoid elective hardware removal.

METHODS: We performed a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and meta-analysis. PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science were searched to December 2024.
