Pediatric Flatfoot Surgery

Pediatric flatfoot surgery is a procedure to correct fallen arches in children who experience pain, weakness, or functional issues. It involves reshaping or stabilizing the bones, tendons, or ligaments in the foot to restore proper arch support and alignment. The goal is to improve foot function, reduce discomfort, and prevent future problems. The specific type of surgery depends on the severity and cause of the flatfoot. Recovery usually includes a period of rest, swelling management, and physical therapy to help the child regain normal activity levels.
