The nonoperative treatment consisted of manipulation under anesthesia, cast immobilization and shoe insert after cast removal. The operative treatment consisted of combined TCC resection, graft interposition and subtalar arthroereisis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Thirty-four children (47\u2009ft) in the nonoperative group and twenty-one children (34\u2009ft) in the operative group were included. No differences were found between groups, concerning baseline characteristics. The mean age at treatment was 11.8\u2009years (9\u201317): 11.6 (9\u201317) for the nonoperative group, 12.2 (10\u201315) for the operative group. The mean follow-up averaged 6.6 (3\u201312) years and was significantly longer in the nonoperative group (7.8 versus 4.7\u2009years;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u00a0&lt;\u20090.0005), since the operative procedure was increasingly practiced in the latest years.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                    <jats:p>There were no complications in either groups, but 6 patients (7\u2009ft) in the nonoperative group were unsatisfied and required surgery. At the latest follow-up, the AOFAS-AHS improved in both groups, although the operative group showed significantly better improvement. The operative group reported also significantly better FADI score, after adjustment for follow-up and baseline variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The operative treatment showed better results compared to the nonoperative treatment. Symptomatic RFF with TCC in children can be effectively treated in one step with resection, graft interposition and subtalar arthroereisis.
