Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the result of open wedge osteotomy at the anterior calcaneus with iliac bone graft (Evans procedure) for symptomatic flexible flatfeet in children. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted between October 1995 and September 2002. Six cases in 3 patients who had symptomatic flexible flatfeet was included. Follow-up averaged 39.5 months. We evaluated the patients' satisfaction by Mann and Reynolds scorring and compared the radiographic results between preoperative and final radiography. Results: The satisfaction outcomes at the last follow-up were excellent in five and good in one. The mean lateral talo-first metatarsal angle was improved from $-20^{\circ}$ to $-3^{\circ}$. The mean calcaneal inclination angle was improved from $8.5^{\circ}$ to $20.8^{\circ}$. The talo-navicular coverage angle was improved from $47.5^{\circ}$ to $7.5^{\circ}$. In one case, we found the subluxation of calcaneocuboidal jont in postoperative radiography. Conclusion: Open wedge osteotomy at the anterior calcaneus for symptomatic flexible flatfeet in children was considered as one of the effective treatment methods.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of flexible flatfeet on the accuracy of knee joint motions in closed and open kinetic chain tasks. Methods: Twenty-four healthy participants were recruited for this study. The subjects were divided into two groups using a navicular drop (ND) test: flexible flatfoot group (n=12, male: 6, aged $22.00{\pm}2.22years$) and age-matched control group (n=12, males: 6, aged $22.17{\pm}1.53years$). The accuracy of knee motion was measured quantitatively by tracing through the flexion and extension motion of the knee joints in the closed kinetic chain and the open kinetic chain. Results: There was a significant difference in the accuracy index between the groups in closed kinetic chain task, but there was no significant difference in the open kinetic chain task. In addition, there was a significant difference in the accuracy index between the closed kinetic chain and the open kinetic chain task in the flexible flatfoot group. In addition, a significant negative correlation was observed between the ND and accuracy index in the closed kinematic chain task, but there was no significant relationship between the ND and accuracy index in the open kinematic chain task. Conclusion: Flexible flatfeet can affect the accuracy of the adjacent joints, such as the knee joint in the closed kinematic chain.

본연구의 목적은 발내재근 훈련과 새로운 접근 방법인 발배뼈 가동술 중 유연성 편평발에 효과적인 중재방법을 알아보기 위해 연구를 진행하였다. 32명의 대상자를 발내재근 훈련과 발배뼈 가동술군 두 그룹으로 설정 연구를 진행하였다. 연구결과 발배뼈 높이 검사에서 두군 모두 유의한 샹항을 보였고(p<.01), 발내재근 훈련군이 발배뼈가동술군보다 유의한 효과를 보였다(p<.01, 95% CI: .768-4.607). 족저압 압력분포의 변화에서도 두군 모두 유의한 감소를 보였으며(p<.01), 발내재근 훈련군이 발배뼈 가동술보다 유의한 감소를 보였다(p<.01, 95% CI: 3.404-14.90 8). 본 연구결과 유연성 편평발에 발배뼈 가동술보다 발내재근 훈련이 더욱 효과적이었다. 편평발을 경험하고 있는 환자들에게 더욱더 효과적인 중재방법을 제공할 수 있을 것이며, 나아가 편평발로 인한 2차적인 근골격계 질환 또한 예방할 수 있을 것이다.
