Pediatric Flatfoot: Is There a Need for Surgical Referral? by Manuel Vergillos Luna, Adyb Khal, Kara A. Milliken, Federico Solla, Virginie Rampal J. Clin. Med. 2023, 12(11), 3809; https://lnkd.in/ddhkTH29 Abstract #Pediatric #foot deformities are a common finding, concerning up to 44% of preschool aged children. The absence of accepted international guidelines makes management of pediatric #flatfoot a challenge. The objective of this narrative review is to provide guidance to primary care #physicians managing these patients. Flatfoot is a common finding in children under 10 years old, and should not be considered pathological unless stiffness or functional limitation are present. Surgical referral should be reserved to children with stiff or painful flatfoot, while simple observation is indicated for flexible, asymptomatic flatfeet.

It was an honor to collaborate on this publication just released in the Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, November 2023. Hollis H. King, PhD, DO; Julie Mai, DO; Mary Anne Morelli Haskell, DO; Kimberly Wolf, DO; and Megan Sweeney, MPH Effects of osteopathic manipulative treatment on children with plagiocephaly in the context of current pediatric practice: a retrospective chart review study ABSTRACT Context: Deformational plagiocephaly (DP) is on the rise in pediatric patients. The current standard of care recommended for management is repositioning with possible addition of cranial orthoses. However, strong data are lacking to support these recommendations. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is another treatment option for DP that is also lacking evidential support Objectives: This retrospective chart review study investigated the effects of OMT at restoring a more symmetrical cranial bone configuration in children with DP.
