The Role of the Plantar Fascia in Supporting the Arch in Flatfoot Deformity
Category: Hindfoot; Midfoot/Forefoot Introduction/Purpose: The osseous structure of the foot has been described as an arch-like triangular structure or truss where the plantar fascia (PF) functions as the tensile element, maintaining the overall length of the arch. The importance of the PF in mainta...
