title: [Radiography profile in forced plantar flexion for studying unsteady feet].
abstract: We have studied the interest of an original radiological incidence ("Plantar hyperflexion") allowing to demonstrate a possible hyperlaxity of medio-tarsal joints. We discovered a significant difference of mobility between patients with unstable feet and the control group. The existence of a medio-tarsal hyperlaxity should be taken into account before starting any treatment.
