title: Evaluation and management of pediatric foot deformities.
abstract: There are myriad diagnoses that can occur in children's feet, and this article presents only a handful. Systematic evaluation beginning with a detailed history and careful physical examination, together with a knowledge of the natural history of these conditions, allows the primary care physician to be a much-needed resource for the family and provide cost-effective, efficient care while referring patients that need pediatric orthopedic intervention.
