What Are the Causes of the Pes Planus Deformity?
Pes planus involves collapse of the arch of the foot so it comes into contact with the ground. This can be a result of the foot arch never developing properly, a trauma to the foot, or a progressive flattening of the foot over time. Flat feet are common, and most are considered variations of normal. However, stiff, inflexible or painful feet require attention as they may be associated with other problems.
