Dear Kevin and Colleagues:

<< then I believe we can assume that certain positional abnormalities which we
commonly measure as podiatrists (e.g. forefoot to rearfoot relationship) may
change over time.
For example, many podiatric surgeons report a decrease in "forefoot varus"
deformity after a subtalar joint arthroereisis procedure has been performed
in
children with flexible pes plano valgus deformity. >>much cut
Nick wonders:
Are we really seeing changes in osseous alignment or joint (soft tissue)
position? It seems like these surgeons are seeing a decrease in forefoot
supinatus, not varus.
Kevin then asks:
<<Finally, should the foot have a shoe on it? >>
Nick thinks:
.....yes, if you want admittance to the local 7-11.
