Pes planus and genu vallgum; factors associated

ABSTRACT

Pes planus [flat foot] is a musculoskeletal abnormality of lower limb, often associated with some degree of malalignment at the knee i.e. genu valgum [knock knees]. In majority of cases, these deformities resolve by themselves during infancy and childhood, but if they persist in adolescent age, then there is no chance of resolution and might pose serious problems for the individual in the future
