In pes planus, the head of the talus bone is displaced medially and distal from the navicular bone. As a result, the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament) and the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle are stretched to the extent that the individual with pes planus loses the medial longitudinal arch (MLA). If the MLA is absent ...
Subtalar arthroereisis is a common treatment for symptomatic pes planus, also known as flatfoot. There are two forms of pes planus: rigid flatfoot (RFF) and flexible flatfoot (FFF).

The Hubscher maneuver (or Jack's test) is a method of evaluating the flexibility of a pes planus or flat foot type. The test is performed with the patient weight bearing, with the foot flat on the ground, while the clinician dorsiflexes the hallux and watches for an increasing concavity of the Arches of the foot.

[10] [11] Other features that have been identified in patients with ischiopatellar dysplasia include foot anomalies, [12] specifically flat feet (pes planus), syndactylism of the toes, [13] short fourth and fifth toes, and a large gap between the first and second toes, [14] [15] femur anomalies, [16] cleft palate, [17] and craniofacial ...
