Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) as a consequence of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is commonly divided in flexible (stages I and II) and fixed (stages III and IV) deformities. The aim of this article is to summarize the evidence available for minimally invasive surgical techniques that can be used in the treatment of flexible AAFD, including tibialis posterior tendoscopy, subtalar arthroereisis, minimally invasive calcaneal osteotomy, and medial proximal gastrocnemius recession. A treatment algorithm and technical tips have also been provided.

Abstract
Adult acquired flatfoot deformity (AAFD) as a consequence of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction is commonly divided in flexible (stages I and II) and fixed (stages III and IV) deformities. The aim of this article is to summarize the evidence available for minimally invasive surgical techniques that can be used in the treatment of flexible AAFD, including tibialis posterior tendoscopy, subtalar arthroereisis, minimally invasive calcaneal osteotomy, and medial proximal gastrocnemius recession.
