Abstract
Introduction: The presence of pes planus may be responsible for the disorder of venous return during ambulation. Our aim in this study is to reveal that the risk of venous insufficiency may be increased in patients with pes planus.
Methods: A total of 59 patients with 29 bilateral pes planus and 30 normal arches included in the study. Djian Annonier angle measurement, bilateral lower extremity venous Doppler ultrasonography (USG), foot function index (AFI), Comprehensive Classification System for Chronic Venous Disorders (CEAP) clinical scoring and Short Form-36 (SF-36) was evaluated.
Results: There was a statistically significant difference in AFI total, AFI pain, AFI disability and AFI activity limitation scores, bilateral lower extremity doppler USG and CEAP clinical scores in the patient group compared to the control group.
Conclusion: These findings suggest that there may be a relationship between pes planus and venous insufficiency. However, large-scale studies with more patient involvement are needed.
