Abstract

This article discusses the more common pediatric problems of the foot associated with microtrauma. In the authors experience, most pediatric foot problems in sports are related to the biomechanics of the foot and lower extremity and most of their treatment is directed toward improving the immediate problem at hand and either at the same time or at a future time improving the biomechanics associated with the problem. It is the authors opinion that much of the macrotrauma is also related to the biomechanical parameters of the foot type and lower leg function, indirectly or directly contributing to the mechanism of injury. This article elaborates on these mechanisms. Verf.-Referat
