our understanding has evolved with classifications that have provided a framework for diagnosis and treatment of the condition. As our attention to anatomic structures has progressed, we continue to gain greater clarity in the diagnosis and treatment of flatfoot deformity.To that end, the authors of this issue have contributed to further progress the scientific knowledge of flatfoot deformity. I extend heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the time, commitment, and expertise they so graciously shared in current concepts of flatfoot deformity in adults and children.
