Abstract

Introduction. One of the reasons for errors in x-ray diagnostics of longitudinal flatfoot is a violation of the method of performing the study.

Aim of the study. To identify the x-ray signs that allow to determine the violation of the method of performing the study.

Materials and methods. There were analyzed the X-ray images of the feet of 53 patients sent for expert evaluation. Ultrasound examination of the soft tissues of the feet was performed for 10 volunteers.

Results. There were identified the signs that allow to assess the compliance of the x-ray examination technique, when the presence of longitudinal flatfoot is suspected.

Conclusion. The assessment of compliance of the x-ray examination technique allows to avoid diagnostic errors, especially at the» borderline « values of the flatfoot degree.
