title: Pes planus: radiographic changes with foot orthoses and shoes.
abstract: Radiographic evaluation of 10 children with bilateral pes planus was performed. Radiographs taken barefoot, with a Thomas heel, with an over-the-counter insert, with two specially molded plastic foot orthoses were used. No significant change was seen after the donning of these appliances in their comparison to barefoot evaluation. The conclusion is that there was not a significant change radiographically of these feet by the utilization of any of the appliances.
