A member asked:
Have flexible pes planus/overpronation which is inherited. can ligaments become more overstretched loose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The problem that : One worries about is that the deformity doesn't become rigid. A flexible flatfoot is treated with orthotics or surgically a subtalar implant works great. But, once the deformity is rigid it is very Difficult to treat.
