Pes Planus
Alternate Names : Fallen Arches, Flat Feet, Pes Planovalgus, Pronation of Feet
Pes Planus Complications
Flat feet are not really associated with any complications except pain. Some causes of flat feet can be successfully treated without surgery if caught early, but occasionally, surgery is the last option to relieve pain.
While usually successful, surgery sometimes does not result in satisfactory results for all patients. Some have persistant pain and other possible surgical complications include infection and failure of fused bones to heal.
