Are they taking to the army with flat feet? All the answers to conscripts' questions

Do you have conscription age and the question arises: are they taking to the army with a flatfoot?

  For today it is necessary to be guided by the Regulation No. 123. It is better to look at the last edition of 25.02.2003. See the section on musculoskeletal diseases, where flat feet are described in detail in the article No. 68 of the table, which is called the "Schedule of Diseases". Having studied this document, you can independently determine whether you are taking to the army with a flatfoot .

Everything depends on the degree of complexity of the disease, indicated in the diagnosis. The degree of complexity of flatfoot is divided into points: a, b, c, g.

If the diagnosis falls under the item "a" (a significant violation of functions with flat feet) - the draftee is classified as "D", according to Article 68, he is considered not fit for service in the army.

Point "b" (moderate disruption of functions with flat feet) refers to the category "B", that is, the draftee is limited in scope (or not suitable in peacetime). He receives a military ticket and is credited to the reserve. Such a person is released from conscription.

Item "B" (minor disruption of functions with flat feet) is also a category "B".

Point "g" (without disrupting functions, when there are objective data) - category "B" - is suitable, with the exception of some arms.

How are diagnoses distributed according to the provisions of Regulation No. 123?

A) - horse, varus, hollow, heel, equinovarus, flat-valgus deformed foot (one or both), formed due to injuries or diseases, and with which a person can not use military shoes;

B) third degree of flatfoot (longitudinal or transverse);

C) - 2nd degree of flatfoot (only with the 2nd degree of arthrosis);

D) - 1 st or 2 nd degree of flatfoot (at the 1 st degree of deforming arthrosis).

How to determine the degree of flatfoot?

To determine the degree of flatfoot, you need to follow:

• Description of the radiograph in a standing position under load. The description is made by the radiologist. He must determine the angle of the longitudinal arch, its height;
• The angle of Beler, which determines the degree of deformation of the calcaneal brush;
• Computed tomography in the coronary plane to assess the condition of the subtalar joint;
• Description of the parameters of angular deviations of the first metatarsal bone and the first finger.

Who will tell you whether they take an army with flat feet, determine the degree of flat feet and diagnose?

Determine the degree of flatfoot can only the doctor of the polyclinic orthopedic surgeon. The diagnosis is made on the basis of radiographic images, which the radiologist describes, the orthopedic surgeon on the basis of these descriptions makes a conclusion and establishes a diagnosis. The military commissioner has no right to make a diagnosis. He only determines the level of fitness for military service on the basis of a clearly established diagnosis by a doctor at a polyclinic.
