Can hereditary flat feet still be corrected? What type of surgical correction is it for?

Generally speaking, it cannot be corrected; Surgical correction is mainly for acquired flat feet, which can effectively promote the repair of flat feet.

Genetic flat-soled foot can be corrected. Flat feet, also known as flat feet, are a relatively rare type in clinical practice. It is mainly manifested by the collapse of the medial longitudinal arch of the foot, most of which are asymptomatic, and a few may be unable to walk long distances or have significant pain after walking due to the collapse of the arch.

Diagnosis is based on appearance and symptoms, typically with pain on the inside of the midfoot and occasionally radiating to the ankle and inner calf. Generally, no symptoms can be left untreated, and significant pain can be surgically corrected.

Hereditary flat feet cannot be corrected; Surgical correction is aimed at flexor digitorum longus tendons, which are mild, less severe, and will not affect life.

Flat feet are not uncommon in life, but I believe many people don't know why the small arch of the foot affects the posture and motor function of the human body, what bad habits can cause flat feet in babies, and how to detect the development trend of flat feet in early childhood and correct it in time. ExactlyMethods for correcting congenital flat feetWhat are they?

Correction methods for congenital flat feet 1. Conservative**.

1. Appropriate physical exercise.

Physical exercise is a positive method, especially for moderate and mild flat feet, although its effect is slow, but it is the best way to treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and can produce long-term results. Flat feet** is to improve the poor mechanical mechanism of the foot due to flat feet. Physical exercise can enhance the strength of foot muscles and ligaments, and the ability to maintain the structural shape of the arch of the foot will be improved after the strength is enhanced, so that the arch of the foot will not collapse during human development.

For example, often carry out running, skipping rope, freehand jumping, rib climbing, running and jumping barefoot on the beach, forefoot running, ballet and other exercises, so that the foot muscles and ligaments do sufficient flexion and stretching exercises to improve the strength of the plantar muscles and ligaments.

2. Choose the right shoes.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", people can not do without shoes for a day from the beginning of walking, and the shape, structure and size of shoes have a subtle impact on the feet. In daily life, although people have higher and higher requirements for shoes, but because they don't know much about the foot, they know little about how to choose the right shoes, which are generally limited to **, style and comfort, as for what shoes should be worn under what circumstances, the structure of the shoes and the role of each part are rarely asked. People with flat feet should go to the corresponding hospital or institution for detailed examination and testing, and "tailor" flat foot shoes for themselves.

3. All kinds of foot orthoses and insoles.

Foot orthoses and insoles are developed based on the biomechanical characteristics of flat feet, and the use of high-quality orthoses or insoles can change the force characteristics of each part of the foot during exercise, thereby reducing the pain caused by flat feet and improving the foot structure.

2. Surgery**.

**The main surgeries for flat feet are: flexor toelongus tendon (FDL) transfer, medial calcaneal osteotomy, lateral column lengthening, combined surgery of medial calcaneal osteotomy + lateral column lengthening, and arthrodesis.

What are the dangers of children's flat feet Many parents think that children's flat feet are a very normal phenomenon, as long as it does not affect children's walking, it is no big problem, and there is no need to pay attention to it. Parents who have this understanding are actually very wrong, and if they don't pay attention to it, flat feet will affect them for the rest of their lives.

Flat feet affect children dancing and even disqualify them from dancing. Because flat feet do not have arches, the elasticity of the feet is very poor, and it is a bit difficult to do jumps.

Flat feet do not have the arch of the foot and do not protect the plantar nerves. In terms of walking, the endurance will not be enough, and it will be difficult to become an athlete.

If children with flat feet land on the ground for a long time, they are prone to foot pain, and it is not easy to reduce the damage of external forces to the feet and internal organs, which affects their health and even affects their growth.

Flat feet is a problem that many children will have now, according to the ** divided into congenital and acquired two, because most children will not have too obvious symptoms, so often miss the best ** time, the best correction time for congenital flat feet, can acquired flat feet be restored?

The best correction time for congenital flat feet is at the age of 4-6 years, first of all, the child's flat feet are not very serious during this period, and it is relatively easy to correct, basically through conservative insoles, corrective shoes and massage, etc., it can be well improved, and the time is not very long; The second is that children at this age are still in the development time, and the problem of flat feet will be improved in time, which will not affect the physical development and limb function in the future.

Acquired flat feet can also be recovered, the method is the same as congenital flat feet, as long as it is found in time and taken in time, it can still be improved, slightly can be improved by corrective pads or P-shaped negative heels, if the situation is serious, it needs to be surgically surged, but relatively speaking, it will take longer.

Congenital flat feet, acquired flat feet are possible, the best time is at the age of 4-6 years, actively take a conservative way to adhere to a period of time, you can get better, but you must follow the doctor's advice or plan to implement after you find that you have flat feet, so that you can heal faster.

Flat feet are congenital diseases!

Flat feet are mostly congenital, and for patients with flat feet of different ages, the method is different.

Flat feet refers to the collapse of the arch of the foot, the medial edge of the foot is close to or touching the ground when standing, and the heel is valgus, which is a more common foot deformity in children, also known as foot valgus.

Most people have no obvious symptoms, but sometimes they get tired easily when they walk for a long time.

Depending on the age of the patient, the approach is different. Neonates can be massaged with manual massage to flex, adduct, and invert the forefoot to stretch the dorsolateral soft tissues of the foot. For children under 3 years old, manual massage and plaster tube can be fixed in the horseshoe varus position, and the effect is remarkable.

Older children with foot pain symptoms can be conservative**, such as reducing activity, resting appropriately, giving local warm compresses, massage, topical drugs or local occlusion according to symptoms**, and wearing arch pads or orthopedic shoes with high heel pads**.

If the foot pain symptoms are not relieved or reversed after standard conservative**, patients over 10 years of age can undergo surgery** according to the situation.

Flat feet are neither a congenital disease nor a congenital physiological defect. Flat feet are just walking is not as good as normal feet, and nothing else has an effect, flat feet are a genetic phenomenon and not a disease.

This is not a disease, it belongs to everyone. Physiology and genetics are different, and this is not a physiological defect, I think there are many people who have flat feet, just like single eyelids and double eyelids. Most people think that double eyelids may look better, but people with single eyelids don't mean they have a problem.
