In pes planus, the head of the talus bone is displaced medially and distal from the navicular bone. As a result, the plantar calcaneonavicular ligament (spring ligament) and the tendon of the tibialis posterior muscle are stretched to the extent that the individual with pes planus loses the medial longitudinal arch (MLA). If the MLA is absent ...
Subtalar arthroereisis is a common treatment for symptomatic pes planus, also known as flatfoot. There are two forms of pes planus: rigid flatfoot (RFF) and flexible flatfoot (FFF).

The Hubscher maneuver (or Jack's test) is a method of evaluating the flexibility of a pes planus or flat foot type.

[10] [11] Other features that have been identified in patients with ischiopatellar dysplasia include foot anomalies, [12] specifically flat feet (pes planus), syndactylism of the toes, [13] short fourth and fifth toes, and a large gap between the first and second toes, [14] [15] femur anomalies, [16] cleft palate, [17] and craniofacial ...
A number of abnormalities and symptoms have been observed with hypertryptophanemia. [citation needed]Musculoskeletal effects include: joint contractures of the elbows and interphalangeal joints of the fingers and thumbs (specifically the distal phalanges), pes planus (fallen arches), an ulnar drift affecting the fingers of both hands (an unusual, yet correctible feature where the fingers slant ...
