The intent of this retrospective study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Young tenosuspension
for the control of abnormal subtalar joint pronation. Two series of 15 feet of patients
aged 10 to 16 years were selected. Patients in the first series had been operated
on with a combination of tendo Achillis lengthening and subtalar arthroereisis, while
those of the second series had these same procedures along with a Young tenosuspension.
All cases had been reviewed In June and July of 1994, both clinically and radiographically.
The follow-up period ranged from 1.5 to 8.6 years.
The authors found at follow-up a statistically significant improvement in both series
of patients. There were no significant differences, however, when comparing the results
of the two series with the exception of the reduction in forefoot supination, which
was statistically greater (p < 0.05) in patients on which the Young tenosuspension
had been performed.
