Flatfoot (pes planus) is a decrease or loss of longitudinal medial arch height. The cause of symptomatic flatfoot occurring in adolescents is still unclear. In this study, the relationship between adolescent pes planus and foot bone shape was investigated. For this purpose, the volume and superficial area data of the foot bones of adolescent individuals with flatfoot deformity and individuals without any foot deformity were compared.
