    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric orthopedics
    • Biomechanics
    • Podiatry

    Background:

    • Flat feet (pes planus) are common in children.
    • Understanding the biomechanics of the arch and subtalar joint is crucial for assessment.
    • Epidemiology and etiology provide context for the condition's prevalence and causes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the occurrence and natural history of pediatric flat feet.
    • To discuss evidence-based treatment modalities for flat feet.
    • To provide a foundation for the clinical assessment of children with flat feet.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of existing studies on pediatric flat feet.
    • Synthesis of information on biomechanics, epidemiology, and etiology.
    • Discussion of established treatment options.

    Main Results:

    • Flat feet present with varying degrees of arch collapse and subtalar joint motion.
    • The natural history often involves resolution or adaptation in childhood.
    • Conservative treatments are typically effective for symptomatic cases.

    Conclusions:

    • A thorough understanding of pediatric flat foot biomechanics, epidemiology, and etiology is essential.
    • Established treatment modalities offer effective management for most children.
    • Further research can refine understanding and treatment protocols.
