Abstract
Foot and ankle pain and oedema are a common complaint among pregnant women. A range of hormonal and anatomical changes during pregnancy can cause modifications in foot and ankle's biomechanics and anatomy. The main foot and ankle pathologies encountered in pregnancy are progressive collapsing foot deformity, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, oedema, and fractures. Workup includes the use of radiological evaluation that could pose a risk to the fetus, depending on the gestational age. Treatment plans range from symptomatic conservative to surgical options and a multidisciplinary approach is often recommended and warranted. Our paper aims to present these different pathologies and propose a structured treatment plan to address them.
