Abstract

The aim of this study was to analyze the relative position of the anatomical foot center (FC) and the pedographic center of gravity (COG). In 180 feet, the distance between FC and COG was 28.7 mm on average. FC was distally to COG in 175 feet (97%) (mean, 27.5 mm) and laterally in 112 feet (62%; mean, 2.0 mm). There is a constant and major distal longitudinal shift of COG relative to FC and an inconstant minor mediolateral shift. The data might be taken into consideration for planning and follow-up in foot and ankle surgery.
