Patient-Reported Pain and Function Outcomes in Children With Congenital Vertical Talus Treated With the Minimally Invasive Method

Conclusion: On average, children who undergo treatment with this technique end up within 1 SD of the reference population in all 3 domains that were measured (pain interference, mobility, and peer relations) regardless of sex, age, and status of recurrence. However, there was a trend towards lower mobility scores in this population compared with the reference population (42±13 vs. 50±10). Treatment should be initiated at less than 12 months of age whenever possible to maximize patient-reported outcomes. Level of Evidence: Level III.
