Pediatric Foot and Ankle Conditions

Kids can experience foot problems too! Fortunately, most of the issues in children’s feet respond to conservative treatment or resolve on their own over time. Very rarely is surgery necessary for pediatric foot and ankle problems. However, ignoring an abnormal condition in your child’s foot could result in long lasting, worsening problems that may eventually require surgery. Therefore, it is important to have your child evaluated by a board-certified foot and ankle specialist immediately if you notice anything unusual with his or her feet, ankles, legs, or even the way he or she is walking. 

Here are some of the most common pediatric foot and ankle conditions:

Pediatric Flat Feet

Equinus or Toe Walking

In-Toeing or Met-Adductus

Warts and InGrown Nails
