Guidelines for evaluation and management of five common podopediatric conditions.
Practice guidelines for five of the most common podopediatric deformities are presented. In establishing these diagnosis and management guidelines, the authors have reviewed an extensive body of literature and considered their experience as clinicians in one of the busiest settings for the evaluation and treatment of disorders of children's feet. No attempt has been made to be encyclopedic; rather, the authors emphasize practical visual descriptors and the rationale for treatment to demonstrate the value of early intervention in moderate-to-severe orthopedic pathology of the foot and leg.
