What department does flat foot see

summary

The incidence rate of flat foot is not very high. We usually seldom see flat foot patients, but we can not say that there are no patients with flat feet around us. Some patients will feel uncomfortable with swelling and pain of their feet, but they don't know which department to see when they arrive at the hospital. Let's talk about what department to see for flat feet.

What department does flat foot see

First: Department of orthopedics, some patients have family history or congenital foot bone deformity or trauma history. When standing or walking for a long time, foot pain or discomfort, heel valgus, flat foot, forefoot valgus, swelling and tenderness of scaphoid tubercle can be relieved or disappeared after rest. The late stage is spasmodic flatfoot. After a long time of rest, the symptoms are difficult to improve.

Second: surgery, standing position X-ray foot anteroposterior film shows that the scaphoid tubercle completely collapsed, and the distance from the talus process increased. From the base of the calcaneal tubercle to the base of the first calcaneal head, and from the scaphoid tubercle to this line, the length of the line is less than 1 mm. Flatfoot generally refers to the lower longitudinal arch of the sole, but also refers to the valgus, valgus flatfoot and other foot deformation.

Third: foot and ankle department, flat foot can be caused by congenital deformation, trauma, inflammation, nerve paralysis, or excessive pressure on the foot. Ninety percent of the patients are caused by low longitudinal arch due to weight load during development, which is called static flatfoot. When walking, support the arch of the foot, so that the three points of the foot force balance to achieve a correction effect. When the flat foot is standing, the inner arch of the foot is depressed, which makes the foot flat to the ground.
