Flatfoot is a foot with low medial longitudinal arch. The commonest type of flatfoot is flexible flatfoot which may be regarded in many cases as normal contour of the foot. Treatment is reserved for symptomatic cases. Surgery is required for cases that do not respond to conservative treatment. Options for surgical treatment vary from simple soft tissue procedures to calcaneal osteotomy, subtalar extra-articular arthroereisis and triple arthrodesis.
