Abstract :
<p>&lt;p&gt;Aim&amp;ndash; To know whether the diagnosis of flat foot by simple ink footprint method is as reliable as radiological method or not. Material &amp;amp; Methods &amp;ndash;100 children aged between 5&amp;ndash;11 yrs having flat foot were selected from the department of orthopedic of M.Y. hospital Indore. Footprint was taken by the help of ink method then Staheli`s plantar arch index calculated. Radiograph was taken in lateral view of both foot in standing position. Talo first metatarsal (TFM) angle were assessed by radiological expert. Data of both study are compared. Correlation between TFM angle and planter arch index value is established statistically. Results&amp;ndash; Observation shows that correlation between TFM radiological angle and planter arch index is significant ( p value &amp;lt;0.05) with correlation value 0.33 for right foot and 0.49 for left foot. Conclusion&amp;ndash; Flat foot can be diagnosed by simple ink footprint method and it is as reliable as other radiological methods.&lt;/p&gt;</p>
