Abstract
Subtalar arthroereisis, often combined with Achilles tendon lengthening, is a simple and effective way to treat flexible flatfoot in adults. The most common complication is pain in sinus tarsi, which usually disappears after removal of the implant. Midterm results are good and it does not hinder other treatments in the future.
