Core Tip	There was no validated children’s flexible flatfoot questionnaire in the literature. Catania flatfoot is a medical score of four main domains for a total of twelve items: Patient features, pain, clinical parameters, and functionality. The tool was easy to perform and reproduce in clinical research, survey studies, or clinical practice. The 75% cut-off is an important threshold for surgical indication and help in the decision-making process.
