Summary Fourhundred and eight rheumatoid feet are studied. The percentage of talalgia is 3.7%; for inferior exostosis it is 29.6%, and 30.8% for posterior exostosis. Posterior demineralisation is present in 12%, whereas for bony erosion it is 8.1%. Plantar spurs are very closely associated to flattened feet (p〈0.0001). Likewise a very noticeable statistical association is noted between postero-superior calcaneilis and tarsal arthritis (p〈0.0001), and calcaneitis was more frequent among marked valgus (p〈0.001). These results are compared with findings of other works. Therapeutic consequences are evoked.
