  • Title: The RAM classification: a novel, systematic approach to the adult-acquired flatfoot.
    Author: Raikin SM, Winters BS, Daniel JN.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2012 Jun; 17(2):169-81. PubMed ID: 22541518.
    Abstract:
    In summary, prior classifications have provided broad guidelines for treating the AAFF without accounting for case-specific variables in determining a treatment plan. The current system breaks down the deformity into three independent levels of involvement: the rearfoot, the ankle, and the midfoot. Via a simple, easy to remember, and reproducible schema based off the original Johnson and Strom classification, each level can be independently evaluated and a patient-specific surgical treatment plan can be formulated based on our most current understanding of the AAFF.
