About This Program

This CME program on pediatric flatfoot provides clinicians with a comprehensive framework for evaluating and managing common and complex presentations. Participants will review developmental arch milestones and learn to distinguish between flexible and rigid flatfoot, building confidence in clinical assessment. Through case-based instruction, learners will apply physical exam techniques and imaging interpretation to differentiate normal variants from tarsal coalitions.
The course further explores treatment decision-making, weighing orthotc versus surgical indications, and highlights outcomes of advanced procedures such as calcaneal lengthening and coalition resections. By integrating developmental knowledge with evidence-based management strategies, this program equips clinicians to deliver precise, patient-centered care for pediatric flatfoot.
