M21.63: Acquired splay foot [pes transversoplanus]
Your foot is shaped differently than normal.
The sole of the foot is arched upwards slightly at the front from right to left. The arch distributes the pressure across the sole of the foot when walking and standing. Your foot has less of an upward arch from right to left. As a result, your foot seems wider than is normal.
When the foot is less arched than usual, the person may have pain when walking or standing, for example. The skin may also become thicker in some places on the sole of the foot. Sometimes you can also have no symptoms at all.
The foot can be deformed as a result of a different illness or an injury, for example. The foot also sometimes becomes deformed from wearing unsuitable shoes.
