Planovalgus deformity



Planovalgus deformity is a postural deformity, flat foot typology, very frequent in people with cerebral palsy and often due to muscle imbalance resulting in a predominance of the pronotory versus the supinatory forces.

Treatment
Surgical treatment in the presence of planovalgus deformity can be of two types:
 * Grice-Viladot technique, which is performed if the patient is over 8 years old.
 * Dual arthrodesis technique, which is performed if the patient is over 12 years old.

Both techniques provide for a thirty-day subsequent protection with a plastered knee-high without load.
