Time to Diagnosis and Treatment of Surgical Site Infections in Foot and Ankle Surgery.

abstract：:Pes planus is a term frequently used in describing flatfoot; however, no study has objectively defined flatfoot. We evaluated the single leg stance footprint of 40 feet in 21 people with no history of foot problems, using pressure-sensitive film and a Harris mat. The medial and lateral aspects of the forefoot, midfoot...
