“…The paediatric flat foot is a controversial topic. Whilst many reports relating to flat feet/pes planus/pes valgus have occupied the medical literature [4,[6][7][8]10,11,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20], there remains a paucity of well-founded, scientific knowledge about this common condition. A definitive definition is lacking and children's flat feet continue to be diagnosed by a plethora of methods, from observation to clinical measurements and imaging, which are largely unsubstantiated in terms of the reliability and validity of the same.…”

Objective A distinctive feature of the modern human foot is the presence of a medial longitudinal arch when weight‐bearing. Although the talus and calcaneus play a major role in the structure and function of the human foot, the association between the morphology of these bones and longitudinal arch height has not been fully investigated. A better understanding of this relationship may assist in the interpretation of pedal remains of fossil hominins, where features of the foot and ankle morphology have been described as providing evidence for the presence of a longitudinal arch. Methods For this study, weight‐bearing radiographs of 103 patients from an urban US Level 1 trauma center, taken as part of a clinical examination for medical evaluation, were selected. These radiographs were classified as to foot type by arch height as defined using the calcaneal inclination angle. From this group, 68 radiographs were suitable for linear and angular measurements of the talus and 74 of the calcaneus. The relationships between these measurements and arch height were explored using least squared linear regression analysis. Results The results demonstrate that angular measurements of the calcaneus (particularly those that reflect the relationship of the talar articular facets to each other and the tilt of the calcaneocuboid joint to the longitudinal axis of the calcaneus) are predictive of arch height (r2 = .29–.44 p ≤ .001). All angular measurements of the talus and all examined linear measurements of both the talus and calcaneus were not predictive of arch height. Discussion These results suggest that certain angular measurements of the calcaneus are associated with arch height in the modern human foot. While this information is useful in the interpretation of hominin pedal remains, the relationship of the morphology of these bones, as well as other bones of the foot, to arch height is complex, requiring further investigation.
