Children's foot problems.

The most common conditions seen in a children's foot clinic are those of flatfeet and pigeon toe. Both respond to conservative treatment and few require surgical correction. However, one sees other types of flatfeet such as congenital vertical talus and tarsal coalition that frequently require surgical intervention. In general, many of the foot problems seen in children lend themselves to conservative measures, and surgical treatment can be delayed until a later age.

Fractures of the foot in children.

Fractures of the foot in children are less common than in adults and are due to severe trauma in which associated injuries may take precedence. Disturbances of growth can occur, usually when there is associated soft tissue damage. Because remodeling of the long bones of the foot does not always correct marked displacement, adequate reduction should be sought to prevent subsequent foot discomfort. Open fractures of the foot deserve considerable care. Primary closure of the wounds should be avoided.
