The American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics (ACFAP) strives to disseminate new and advanced information on the latest techniques in pediatric foot and ankle care. The feet are the foundation of the body, and even before a child takes their first step, deficiencies in the lower extremity begin to create a destructive domino effect on the rest of the human body. It is our job as foot and ankle specialists to make sure the feet are taken care of.

Pediatrics at World Congress a Huge Success!

The American College of Foot & Ankle Pediatrics (ACFAP) recently participated at the World Congress of Podiatry meeting in Montreal, Canada, May 26-28. This world-class event, which occurs once every 3 years, features the largest gathering of international podiatrists in the world. President of ACFAP, Dr. Louis J. DeCaro, presented a 90 minute lecture on the H&P of the pediatric patient. “Representing ACFAP and pediatric foot and ankle care on a world stage, in front of a “standing room only” crowd, was quite an honor.” The World Congress of Podiatry and ACFAP share similar missions: providing for the advancement and continuing education of Podiatric medical professionals.
