The work of the Achilles tendon is to attach the calf muscles to the heel bone(calcaneus). The extra amount of weight imposes an excess amount of stress on the medial longitudinal arch, which can lead to the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. Generally, to get rid out of it surgery is done.īoth in children’s and women’s, it is seen that obesity is correlated with the development of Flat feet. It is also a congenital deformity in which, from birth, the talus is positioned in the wrong direction. Because at this age the coalition progresses from fibrous to cartilaginous. Usually, the coalition is visible around the second decade of life, approx around 10 years those who have Calcaneo-navicular coalition and around 13 to 14 yrs those who have Talo-calcaneal coalition. Mostly 2 types of the coalition are common Calcaneo-navicular coalition and Talo-calcaneal coalition. Generally, after birth, this condition remains asymptomatic and it affects only 5% of the population. And in this, there is an abnormal fusion between the two tarsal bones which leads to foot pain, multiple ankle sprains, and rigid flat foot in the future. And when you ask your child to tiptoe or dorsiflex the toes, the normal arch will re-appear. A flexible flat foot will rarely cause pain.ĭuring standing position (weight-bearing), a normal arch will disappear, which should be present.
It is a very common finding and almost affects about 10 to 12% of the population. It is the most common cause of congenital pes planus in children as there are many flexible flat feet cases.
