This study classifies congenital flat feet (CFF) into two types based on tarsal bone alignment. Understanding these types is crucial for effective surgical planning and treatment of CFF.

Area of Science:

Orthopedics
Podiatry
Pediatric Orthopedics

Background:

Congenital flat feet (CFF) are characterized by complex deformities of the foot.
Accurate classification is essential for guiding surgical interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the sagittal plane alignment of tarsal and metatarsal bones in congenital flat feet.
To differentiate between subtypes of CFF based on joint alignment for improved surgical planning.

Main Methods:

Retrospective analysis of standard lateral X-rays from 32 patients with congenital flat feet.
Evaluation of talonavicular, calcaneocuboid, and subtalar joint alignment in the sagittal plane.

Main Results:

All cases exhibited talonavicular joint dislocation and a vertical talus.

Related Experiment Videos

Type I CFF showed verticalized talus and calcaneus without subtalar subluxation.

Type II CFF presented with a normally aligned calcaneus, indicating subtalar joint subluxation.

Conclusions:

Two distinct types of congenital flat feet (CFF) were identified based on tarsal alignment.
Type I CFF necessitates midtarsal joint reduction and stabilization.
Type II CFF requires attention to both subtalar and calcaneocuboid joints during surgery.
