Flatfootwith or without in-toeing has no relationship with serum Vitamin D levels.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the serum levels of calcium and Vitamin D in pediatric patients withflatfoot, who were brought to clinic with or without in-toeing compliants.Methods: Flatfoot patients who were followed up between November 2017 and December 2019 were dividedinto four groups.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Serum levels of calcium and Vitamin D were detected by biochemical assays on study and control groups.Results: In this study, four study groups included 204 children who were divided in to four groups as GroupA, B, C and D.

Objectives: This study aims to evaluate the serum levels of calcium and Vitamin D in pediatric patients withflatfoot, who were brought to clinic with or without in-toeing compliants.Methods: Flatfoot patients who were followed up between November 2017 and December 2019 were dividedinto four groups. Group A included patients who had flatfoot with in-toeing. Group B included patients whohad flatfoot without in-toeing. Group C included patients who had in-toeing without flatfoot. Group D was thecontrol group and it included patients who had neither flatfoot nor in-toeing. Group D had no other acquiredor congenital diseases via to the pediatric age. Serum levels of calcium and Vitamin D were detected by biochemical assays on study and control groups.Results: In this study, four study groups included 204 children who were divided in to four groups as GroupA, B, C and D. All groups included 51 (%25.0) patients. According to test results, in the serum calcium levels,there was a significant difference between Group A and Group D in favor of the control group (p=0.040). Therewas no significant difference between serum vitamin D levels and foot deformities (p=0.457). The relationshipbetween calcium values and foot deformities was significant (p=0.004). The relationship between vitamin Dvalues and foot deformities was not significant (p=0.457).Conclusion: The coexistence of flatfoot and in-toeing may be related to lower serum calcium levels. Flatfootwith or without in-toeing has no relationship with serum Vitamin D levels.
