Analysis of the epidemiology, treatment methods and outcomes of fractures of children’s bones
https://doi.org/10.25789/YMJ.2025.90.29
Abstract
The review to systematize scientific literature data on the topic of post-traumatic flatfoot has been conducted. We applied search filters to find literature in the text summarization domain from eLibrary, pubMED, Scopus. The arches of the foot, formed by the calcaneal bone at the back and two heads of the metatarsal bones: I and V. Post-traumatic flat feet occurs after fractures of the calcaneus or metatarsal bones. Fractures of the metatarsal bones associated with post-traumatic flatfoot in the outcome of the disease. The literature review indicates clinically significant correlations between fractures of the foot bones and occurrence of post-traumatic flatfoot. Most of the material presented on the influence of calcaneal fractures on the occurrence of post-traumatic flatfoot with a direct correlation. There are sources on the correlation between metatarsal bone fractures and post-traumatic flatfoot. In the studies, the authors link metatarsal fractures and flat feet. They also note a direct correlation between the disease and its complications. The literature review show correlations between fractures of calcaneus or metatarsal bones and occurrence of post-traumatic flatfoot.
Research in the field of fractures of the bones of the foot and post-traumatic flat feet, is relevant now and requires further scientific research.
There was also a small amount of material on studies of post-traumatic flatfoot in children.
