The Angle of the Heel
June 22nd, 2019
Overview
Look For
- The angle of the heel posteriorly - neutral, inverted (varus), everted (valgus)
Significance
- An inverted ankle is generally associated with pes cavus (cavovarus) and an everted heel is generally associated with pes planus (planovalgus), however abnormal heel angle can also be a physiological variant.
