Foot drop is a deceptively simple name for a potentially complex problem. Foot drop can be associated with a variety of conditions such as dorsiflexor injuries, peripheral nerve injuries, stroke, neuropathies, drug toxicities, or diabetes.

Progressive pes planus, or flatfoot, deformity in adults is a common entity that is encountered by orthopedic surgeons.
