Flatfoot deformity is a prevalent hind‐ and midfoot disorder. Given its complexity, single‐plane radiological measurements omit case‐specific joint interaction and bone shape variations. Three‐dimensional medical imaging assessment using statistical shape models provides a complete approach in chara...
