Foot Deformities: Consequential Diseases

The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by foot deformities:

General

  • Pain in the foot
  • Restriction of movement

Hollow foot (pes cavus, pes excavatus)

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

  • Claw toes

Injuries, poisonings, and other sequelae of external causes (S00-T98).

  • External ligament rupture in the upper ankle joint

Clubfoot (pes equinovarus, supinatus, excavatus et adductus)

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Recurrence of clubfoot

Further

  • Grotesque gait – foot touches down with the outer edge of the foot or the back of the foot; leads to ulceration (ulcers).

Bending foot (pes valgus)

  • Impairment of the entire statics of the body

Flatfoot (pes planus congenitus; acquired pes planovalgus)

Skin and subcutaneous tissue (L00-L99).

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99)

  • Secondary osteoarthritis

Drop foot

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

  • Discopathy (disc disorders)
  • Heel spur
  • Back pain
