ABSTRACT While being one of the most frequent parental complained deformities, æatfoot does not have a universally ac-cepted description. The reasons of æexible æatfoot are still on debate, but they must be differentiated from rigid æatfoot which occurs secondary to other pathologies. These children are commonly brought up to a physician without any complaint. It should be kept in mind that the etiology may vary from general soft tissue laxities to intrinsic foot pathologies. Every æexible æatfoot does not require radiological examination or treatment if there is no complaint. Otherwise further investigation and conservative or surgical treatment may necessitate.
