    Pes planus, or flatfoot, is more common in non-Hispanic whites and has a 1:1 ratio between genders. It can be congenital or genetic and is exacerbated by factors like excessive weight, arthritis, occupations requiring high heels, or poorly fitted shoes. The condition develops as the Achilles tendon shortens and the ankle cannot bend properly, placing abnormal pressure on the ankle joint. This causes the tendons and ligaments in the arch to compensate until the arch eventually breaks down and falls, resulting in a flat foot. Symptoms include burning, fatigue, an awkward gait, edema, and pain. Diagnosis involves x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, and other tests while

    A CONCEPT MAP OF PES PLANUS (FLATFOOT)

     1:1 ratio to both gender  Athlete


     Non-Hispanic Whites  Occupation w/c requires
     Congenital wearing high heels
     Genetic  Excessive weight
     Children and Older Adult  Arthritis
    Excessive tension  Wearing of poorly fitted shoes

    Abnormal pressure is exerted in the ankle joint

    Achilles tendon in the back of the calf shortens


    and tightens

    Ankle does not bend properly

    Tendons and ligaments running through the


    arch then try to compensate
    Clinical Manifestation:
    Med-Surg Mgmt.: Breakdown and arch falls  Burning sensation
     NSAIDS  Fatigue
     Orthotic Devices  Clumsy gait
     Stretching Exercises FLAT FOOT  Edema
     Supportive Shoes  Pain
     Physical Therapy
     Osteotomies
    Diagnostic Tests: Nursing Diagnoses:
     Arthrodesis
     X-RAY  Acute Pain
     CT SCAN  Impaired Physical Mobility
     UTZ  Risk for Injury
     MRI  Risk for Fall
