Très souvent, le pied plat spastique représente une forme évolutive du pied plat valgus statique de l'enfant apparaissant vers 14 ou 15 ans. On parle alors de pied plat contracturé de l'adolescent ou de tarsalgie des adolescents. Le pied plat invétéré, irréductible, représentant le 3e degré du pied plat, ne s'observe guère qu'en fin de croissance vers 16-18 ans, ou beaucoup plus tard, et s'associe à des lésions d'arthrose sous-astragalienne et médiotarsienne. 2, record 6, French, - pied%20plat%20spastique
