Now that it's summer, we spend more time at the beach or swimming pool enjoying the warm weather. As an orthopedic surgeon that specializes in conditions of the foot and ankle, I tend to notice wet footprints across the pool deck or in the sand and cannot help but analyze the health of the individual's feet. One of the conditions that I notice is the high arched foot, medically termed pes cavus. This is noticeable by a footprint that is pronounced in the heel and forefoot, with very minimal or even absent impression in the middle part of the foot.
