Management of pediatric foot deformities: an imaging review.

Abstract

Abnormalities of foot alignment can be a cause of significant morbidity in children, and some require complex surgical intervention to improve functionality and decrease pain. Imaging plays a key role in management decisions. We address some of the most common surgical strategies for selected diagnoses including pes planus, congenital vertical talus, pes cavus, and clubfoot, with a focus on imaging findings.
