Recently, many children aged 1-3 years old have been brought by their families to the Department of Orthopedics at Vinmec Times City International General Hospital to examine “Flat feet”. The following article will talk about Flexible Flat Foot, also known as Functional Flat Foot (Pied Plat Fonctionnel).

Clubfoot is one of the common deformities in children. The disease does not affect health but causes many obstacles to daily life as well as physical movements of children, especially movements related to the lower limbs. The disease can be treated if detected early and treated properly.

Foot deformities are one of the common congenital deformities in newborn children, which can be clubfoot, flatfoot or some other foot deformities. These types of foot deformities need to be detected and treated promptly to minimize difficulties in movement when the child grows up.

Spinal anesthesia is a regional anesthesia technique performed in flat foot surgery and convex foot surgery to temporarily inhibit nerve conduction through the spinal cord, thereby meeting the requirements of anesthesia and pain relief during surgery.
