The stop heel with plates (PVD) or Valgeranna heel is a frequent disease during childhood.The curvature can have serious consequences in the future: the pathology of the musculoskeletal system, if preventive measures are not applied, do not consult a doctor in time.The initial phases are good to treat, the child's legs come to the right conditions and do not cause problems to the child and his parents.
What is the Valgus Del foot deformation in children
Valgus Foot in children looks like a disposition of the child's feet compared to each other.The internal ankles are in contact and the heels are further away than they are normal.When walking, the child gets up inside the foot.In most cases, the deformation is diagnosed by the appearance of the foot and the clumsy pace.The child moves uncertain, when the walk hesitates and gets tired quickly.All these symptoms are detected at home in the initial phase of the disease.
The valgus foot must not be confused with Valgus that sets the lower limbs.In this condition, the child's legs are not acquired by an X -shaped shape, but in the shape of O. in the Valgus infants, it is not a pathology if the curvature remains after the first steps (the main sign of the disease is the club's foot), doctors prescribe gymnastics, antiquarus shoes, massage.If the child then continues the foot club, the assignment of legs and feet is prescribed.

The fourth phases of deformation development are the most difficult.The deviation of the feet from the norm is in this case more than 30 degrees, the pain appears in the area of the Choparov joint - near the ankle.The child is prescribed complex therapy as the initial stage of the treatment for the disease.If this option does not bring the effect, the deformation of the feet is surgically corrected.
