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.
