Abstract

|
Radiographs were made of the feet of one hundred and twenty four normal children who were ranged in age from 1 to 13 years. On lateral radiographs that were made with the feet in standing, the talo-first. metatarsal, calcaneal pitch and calcaneo-fifth metatarsal angles and arch ratio were measured. Most of the children in this study revealed flattened feet in earlier ages and the mean values were changed with age up to normal range later in the early school ages. These data might provide one of the standard for assessment of the flatfoot in children. However, the diagnosis and treatment. of the flntfoot. should be based on clinical assessment and radiographic values should not determine clinical managcment even if the values are beyond the normal range.
