M21.63: Acquired splay foot [pes transversoplanus]
You have a splayfoot.
The front part of the sole of the foot is normally slightly arched upwards from right to left. Connective tissue and muscles stabilize the arch in the foot.
With a splayfoot, this arch is absent. As a result, the foot also looks wider than normal. If the arch is absent, the load on the sole of the foot changes. As a result, the skin at the front of the sole of the foot may be thicker than usual in some places. The location may also be painful.
A splayfoot may result from overloading. It may also be that muscles and connective tissue in the foot are too weak. They are then unable to stabilize the arch, and the front of the sole of the foot drops downwards. Unsuitable footwear may also favor a splayfoot.
