Adult and pediatric flat foot deformity is often overlooked by physicians. Often I hear, “my pediatrician says my child will grow out of it, etc.”
Reality is that if uncontrolled, more severe deformities can result such as tendon collapse, tendon tears, hips, knee and back pain.
A lot can be done nowadays for patients from simple implants such as the +HyProCure® implant to bone grafts and fusion. Not all doctors are familiar with these surgical options. Seek one with experience in dealing with pediatric and adult flat foot deformities to get a full picture of your options.
