Read the detailed description
Foot deformities are common musculoskeletal conditions affecting children and adolescents worldwide, with a wide range of causes and clinical presentations. These deformities can result from congenital abnormalities, developmental changes, trauma, neuromuscular disorders, or secondary complications of systemic diseases such as diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis(1,2). Flatfoot, hallux valgus, pes cavus, and clubfoot are among the most frequently encountered types, each with distinct etiologies and clinical features Data will be collected by self-administered structured questionnaire. The aim of the study and the way of filling the questionnaire will be explained in each classroom to the students, and then he fills the questionnaire by himself.
