Children’s feet are not just smaller versions of adult feet—they undergo dynamic growth and development stages that require specialized attention. This book focuses on common and complex pediatric foot conditions such as flatfoot, toe walking, and clubfoot. It outlines diagnostic criteria, developmental milestones, and intervention strategies. Special emphasis is placed on conservative treatments, orthotic management, and surgical considerations in rare cases. The book also addresses how early intervention can prevent long-term deformities. It serves as a practical resource for clinicians working with pediatric populations.
