Physical Treatment

During the period of development foot deformities can occur, not only during the growth and development, but also in the later age. The most frequent foot deformity is flatfoot, congenital club foot and hallux valgus. Prior to the decision on surgical treatment of the deformity, whenever possible the patient should be referred for physical therapy that may yield acceptable results in specific treatment phases. The basis of the treatment involves kinesitherapy, application of certain agents (thermotherapy, electrotherapy, ultrasound) and orthosis for maintaining corrections. If such therapy does not yield satisfactory results, the deformity is surgically corrected. After surgical correction, physical procedures can contribute to more rapid recovery and decrease possible complications (pain, edema, complex regional pain syndrome - Mb Sudec), which can follow the surgical correction of the deformity. In addition, the obligatory form of rehabilitation also involves kinesitherapy.

Therapeutic Problem

Paediatric flat feet are a serious therapeutic problem. During the child’s development, the foot is subject to the processes of anatomical and physiological modifications. In small children, the flat foot is a physiological variant. The assessment of the flat foot deformity is based on clinical examination, a podoscope examination and possibly radiological evaluation. Only from the age of about 3 years is it possible to consider the implementation of treatment, initially conservative with rehabilitation and possibly orthotics. Some patients require treatment with analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs or physiotherapy due to the pain they experience, especially in the hindfoot. The lack of progress in conservative treatment requires consideration of surgical treatment, which must be individually adjusted. Arthroereisis, possibly combined with the elongation of the Achilles tendon, is the most commonly used treatment. In fixed deformities or congenital flat feet, corrective bone procedures are also performed, usually combined with soft tissue procedures.

Bone Deformities

Congenital club foot is the most frequent foot deformity. It occurs in 1% of newborns, two times more frequently in boys, with family inheritance. Patoanatomicaly, entity consists of bone deformities, articular malpositions and soft tissues retraction. All these produce adduction of the forefoot and varus and equinovarus of the hindfoot. Lateral side of the foot is convex and medial side is concave. Forefoot is in adduction and plantar flexion in relation to the hindfoot. The heel is rotated medially which induces varus and eqinus of the foot. The aim of the treatment is to establish anatomically normal foot, painless, with moderate movements, which is suitable for normal shoes. At the beginning treatment is nonsurgical. If nonsurgical treatment fails further step should be surgical treatment. The success of treatment of congenital clubfoot depends on the time of diagnosis and treatment beginning.
