Abstract
The adult acquired flatfoot is a deformity that results from the loss of dynamic and static supportive structures of the medial longitudinal arch. The severity of the deformity is dependent upon the role of ligamentous disruption on the hindfoot that can be determined by careful clinical examination. Treatment of the adult flatfoot requires an understanding of the biomechanical effects of deforming forces, tendon dysfunction, ligament disruption, and joint sublaxation.Entities:
