Abnormalities in the feet often lead to an assessment by orthopaedic specialists. Many foot problems develop in childhood, but do not always need to be treated.
A variety of tried and tested, but also modern examination methods, including, for example, an instrumented movement analysis, help with the diagnosis. Together with the parents, the doctors decide on the best treatment for the child. Most foot problems can be treated conservatively and therefore without surgical measures. If these are not sufficient, surgery may be necessary. The procedure depends on the type and severity of the deformity. Conventional, tried and tested as well as state-of-the-art treatment methods are available.
