Epidemiological evaluation of genu valgum and flat feet in the child: experience of the martagão gesteira children's hospital

Abstract

Introduction: It is known that angular deformities of the lower limbs are one of the biggest complaints in the children treated in our outpatient clinics, most of the time associated with deformities of the feet (flat feet). There is still no study in the specific literature regarding the correlation of both, although this association is frequently seen in practice.
