title: The Miller procedure for mobile flat feet.
abstract: We studied the long-term results of the Miller operation at a mean age of 13 years in 22 patients (38 feet) with persistently symptomatic mobile flat feet associated with an isolated naviculocuneiform break. At a mean of 12 years (3 to 27) after surgery, 84% of the feet had a satisfactory clinical result. We conclude that the Miller operation is a useful procedure for adolescent patients with persistently symptomatic flat feet with an isolated break at the naviculocuneiform joint.
