Abstract:
Prevention of habitual or shoe-induced foot and toe deformities in children and treatment of congenital or developing malformations require a change of view towards functional aspects and the use of modern technical possibilities based on our traditional knowledge.Statics, functional anatomy, biomechanics, neuromotor and psychomotor activity, and developmental physiology have to be considered as well as the broad variety of physiological interindividual differences. Modern materials and fabrication techniques make it easier to produce anatomically and functionally correct and appealing shoes, inserts, and orthoses. New means of invasive treatment improve the preconditions for orthotic management. Cultural and cosmetic expectations and the real extent of disability, impairment, and handicap have to be carefully differentiated for the sake of every single child.

Fractures: Bone Repair
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...

The anterior compartment includes muscles that contribute to the dorsiflexion of the foot. This compartment houses the tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus, and extensor digitorum longus muscles.
