Foot problems in children can be the result of infection, trauma or overuse. Ingrown toenails, bunions, sesamoid disease, congenital overriding of the fifth toe, and fractures may occur in both adults and children. Some disorders, such as Freiberg's infarction and Kohler's disease, however, are unique to the pediatric population. The potential for adverse sequelae is greater in children than in adults. A thorough understanding of the anatomy of the pediatric foot and a systematic examination will facilitate the diagnosis of pediatric foot problems. A conservative approach to management will improve both compliance and outcome.
儿童足部问题可能由感染、创伤或过度使用引起。嵌甲、拇囊炎、籽骨疾病、先天性第五趾重叠以及骨折在成人和儿童中都可能发生。然而，一些疾病，如弗赖贝格梗死和科勒病，却是儿科人群所特有的。儿童出现不良后遗症的可能性比成人更大。深入了解儿童足部的解剖结构并进行系统检查将有助于诊断儿童足部问题。采用保守的治疗方法将提高依从性并改善治疗效果。
