hollow foot

Beim Hohlfuß des Erwachsenen handelt es sich um eine Fehlstellung, welche durch einen „hohen Rist“ und ein „O-Bein“ des Sprunggelenks gekennzeichnet ist. Diese kann anlagebedingt sein oder aufgrund neurologischer Schäden sowie lange bestehender Seitenbandinstabilitäten auftreten.  

The malposition is characterized by the fact that the foot rolls more over the outside of the foot. This causes strain and foot pain. A hollow foot can also lead to frequent outward twisting. The malposition causes an asymmetrical load on the joint, which causes premature wear and tear.

Beratung und Therapie von Hohlfüßen bei OA Priv. Doz. Dr. Reinhard Schuh

As an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in feet, I would be happy to advise you on foot problems that occur due to a hollow foot. After an imaging clarification, I will suggest possible therapeutic procedures. In mild forms of hollow foot positions, a supply of shoe insoles can be applied. Orthopaedic shoe fittings or a custom-made shoe can also be used. If this is no longer possible, I recommend a foot operation, which, as an orthopaedic surgeon, I myself could perform.
