Splayfoot (Pes Transversoplanus): Complications

The following are the most important diseases or complications that can be caused by fallen splayfoot:

Musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (M00-M99).

  • Discopathy (disc complaints).
  • Heel spur
  • Hallux valgus (crooked toe)
  • Hammer toe (hallux malleus)
  • Claw toe
  • Metatarsalgia (metatarsal pain)
  • Back pain

Psyche – nervous system (F00-F99; G00-G99)

  • Morton’s neuralgia (synonyms: Morton’s metatarsalgia, Morton’s syndrome, or Morton’s neuroma) – nerve compression syndrome of the interdigital nerves (nerve branches of the medial plantar nerve and lateral plantar nerve that run between the metatarsals) due to displacement of the nerve-vascular bundle (esp. In the interdigital space D3/4), usually with accompanying bursitis (bursitis); leads to irritation of the nerves of the sole of the foot, which causes seizure-like pain in the area of the metatarsal bones.
