Zusammenfassung

Die Differenzierung des physiologischen kindlichen Knick-Senk-Fußes von pathologischen Verläufen sowie deren adäquate Therapieeinleitung stellen eine nicht zu unterschätzende Schwierigkeit dar. Oft stehen die Ängste und Sorgen der Eltern sowie ihr Beharren auf Veranlassung therapeutischer Maßnahmen im Mittelpunkt des Arzt-Patienten-Kontakts. Das Problem besteht in der spärlichen Datenlage fundierter wissenschaftlicher Studien, die sich mit der konservativen Therapie des kindlichen Knick-Senk-Fußes auseinandersetzen. Dieser Artikel will einen Überblick über den aktuellen Stand der Literatur hinsichtlich Indikation und Therapieerfolg durch Einlagenversorgung beim kindlichen Knick-Senk-Fuß bieten.

Abstract

The differentiation of physiological pediatric flat feet and the pathological course as well as adequate initiation of therapeutic options represents a challenge the importance of which should not be underestimated. Fears and worries of parents and their insistence on inducement of therapeutic measures take center stage in the physician-patient relationship. The problem is that there are insufficient data from scientific studies dealing with the conservative treatment of flat feet in children. This paper intends to give a survey of the current status in the literature concerning indications and therapeutic success using insoles in the treatment of flat feet in children.
