Pes Planus
Alternate Names : Fallen Arches, Flat Feet, Pes Planovalgus, Pronation of Feet
Pes Planus Prognosis (Expectations)
Most cases of flat feet are painless and no problems are to be expected. The prognosis of painful flat feet again depends on the cause of the condition. Usually treatment is succesful, regardless of the cause.
If a fusion is required then there is some loss of ankle motion, especially turning the foot inward and outward, but otherwise patients with fusions report tremendous improvement in pain and function.
