Abstract

The differentiation of physiological pediatric flat feet and the pathological course as well as adequate initiation of therapeutic options represents a challenge the importance of which should not be underestimated. Fears and worries of parents and their insistence on inducement of therapeutic measures take center stage in the physician-patient relationship. The problem is that there are insufficient data from scientific studies dealing with the conservative treatment of flat feet in children. This paper intends to give a survey of the current status in the literature concerning indications and therapeutic success using insoles in the treatment of flat feet in children.
