Abstract

Background: FLAT FOOT is a generic term used to describe any condition of the foot in which the longitudinal arch is abnormally low or absent. Although the exact PREVALENCE of FLAT FOOT in CHILDREN is unknown, it is undoubtedly one of the most common deformities observed by pediatric orthopedists. The PREVALENCE of FLAT FOOT is different in various studies from different societies, hence the true PREVALENCE of FLAT FOOT is unknown. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we clinically examined both feet in 812 male elementary school students of Shiraz, in both sitting and standing positions. The presence of FLAT FOOT and the degree of its severity according to Tachdjian's system of grading for flatfoot was assessed. Also, weight, height and body mass index (BMI) of each subject was measured. Results: The data showed that the overall PREVALENCE of FLAT FOOT was 35.7 percent out of which 23.4 percent were mild, 10.7 percent were moderate and 1.6 percent were severe. Additionally, significant relationship between the PREVALENCE of FLAT FOOT and body measurements was observed. The data showed that the PREVALENCE and degree of severity of FLAT FOOT increased with higher values for weight, height and BMI. Conclusion: This study showed that FLAT FOOT is a common problem among male CHILDREN in our society and should be addressed by responsible organizations especially if it persists through adulthood.
