Reduced longitudinal arches of both feet on wight bearing radiographs.

Case Discussion

Pes planus, also known as flatfoot, is a condition where the arch of the foot collapses, causing the sole of the foot to come into complete or near-complete contact with the ground. This can cause pain and instability in the foot and ankle, and can lead to other problems such as overpronation, shin splints, and knee pain.
