Abstract:
A good knowledge of the anatomy of the foot is indispensable in order to orient the diagnosis. The clinical examination of the foot need to be done in a static (sitting and lying) as well as in a dynamic (walking and running). The foot is divided in three regions : rear-foot, mid-foot and fore-foot. The pathologies that are developed (rear-foot and fore-foot) are the ones that are most frequently seen during the consultation. They are described taking into account their aetiology, the clinical aspects, the imaging and the treatment.
