Musculoskeletal disease presenting in a child's foot is usually an isolated mechanical problem rather than part of a systemic disease; however, the pediatric flatfoot may be a more serious problem, caused by tarsal coalitions, congenital vertical talus, or part of a syndrome. The most common congenital pediatric foot deformities, including flatfoot, talipes equinovarus, digital anomalies, and osteochondritis, have characteristic and easily identifiable features that should be familiar to the practitioner. In this article, these deformities are described as they occur in isolation and as the result of more serious syndromes or causes.
出现在儿童足部的肌肉骨骼疾病通常是孤立的机械性问题，而非全身性疾病的一部分；然而，小儿扁平足可能是一个更严重的问题，由跗骨联合、先天性垂直距骨或综合征的一部分引起。最常见的先天性小儿足部畸形，包括扁平足、马蹄内翻足、手指异常和骨软骨炎，具有特征性且易于识别的特征，从业者应熟悉这些特征。在本文中，这些畸形将分别描述其单独出现的情况以及作为更严重综合征或病因的结果时的情况。
