Hindfoot Deformity

Hindfoot deformities involve abnormal alignment or shape of the bones in the back part of the foot, leading to pain, instability, and difficulty walking. These deformities can be caused by congenital conditions, trauma, or arthritis. Depending on the specific deformity, symptoms may range from mild discomfort to severe functional impairment. Treatment options include bracing or orthotics to support the foot, and in more severe cases, surgery to correct the alignment and restore function.
