📋Overview
Flatfoot is a structural deformity characterized by the partial or complete collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. This condition, often termed pes planus or fallen arches, results in the entire sole of the foot coming into contact with the ground. It can be congenital or acquired due to factors such as injury, obesity, or aging. While many individuals experience no symptoms, others may suffer from persistent pain in the foot, ankle, or lower leg.
