Foot eversion

Introduction Foot valgus, also called valgus and extension, refers to the axial deviation of the child's heel, which is one of the common deformities of the foot. Foot valgus is a deformity caused by abnormal development of the tendon of the foot, accompanied by flat foot and scaphoid collapse, and the midpoint of the calf, the center of the Achilles tendon, and the center of the calcaneus are connected. In addition, foot eversion can also cause ankle valgus deformation.

Cause

Foot valgus is a deformity caused by abnormal development of the tendon of the foot, accompanied by flat foot and scaphoid collapse, and the midpoint of the calf, the center of the Achilles tendon, and the center of the calcaneus are connected. In addition, the valgus will also cause the ankle valgus deformation, the cause of the disease is considered to be caused by the tension of the tibialis anterior muscle, passively correct the ankle joint can return to the neutral position of 90 °. Others believe that due to the pressure of the fetus in the uterus, the foot is everted, not caused by the tension of the anterior tibialis.

Eversion foot: Contrary to the shape of the inverted foot, it can only land on the inside of the foot and bear the weight. The inner arch often sinks. When standing, the heel is too inclined, usually with flat feet and X-legs. With flat feet and scaphoid collapse, the midpoint of the calf, the center of the Achilles tendon, and the center of the calcaneus are lined up. In addition, foot eversion can also cause ankle valgus deformation.

Differential diagnosis

Foot varus: During development, due to the failure of the tendon and ligaments (posterior and deep) of the foot, it is not synchronized with the development of other tendon ligaments in the foot. The consequence is that these tendons and ligaments will be sufficient. The posterior medial side is pulled down, causing the foot to twist inwardly and inward. The bones of the foot are therefore in an abnormal position. The foot is varused, stiff, and cannot return to its normal position.

Eversion foot: Contrary to the shape of the inverted foot, it can only land on the inside of the foot and load, and the medial arch often sinks.
