Reverse club foot. Rigid and recalcitrant talipes calcaneovalgus

Family Studies and the Cause of Congenital Club Foot. Talipes Equinovarus, Talipes Calcaneo-valgus and Metatarsus Varus.

This paper on congenital club foot in Devonshire is based on a study of 635 patients treated at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital, Exeter. It deals with the family history and associated congenital abnormalities, and attempts to clarify the causation of club foot. Particular attention is given to talipes equinovarus, and there are short notes on talipes calcaneo-valgus and metatarsus ...

DTDST mutations are not a frequent cause of idiopathic talipes equinovarus (club foot).

Idiopathic talipes equinovarus (ITEV) or isolated club foot deformity is a common birth defect having an average birth prevalence of 1 per 1000 live births. 2 However, the birth prevalence of ITEV varies among different populations, ranging from 0.39-7 per 1000 live births, with the highest rate in the Hawaiian and Maori populations. ITEV occurs more frequently in males and the skewed 2:1 ratio...

The pulseless club foot.

Previous reports have suggested that the blood supply derived from the anterior tibial artery is absent or markedly diminished in 85% of severe, untreated club feet. To investigate these claims, we used a Doppler technique to study the arterial pulses in 40 children with 63 club feet. In feet with mild or moderate deformities the anterior tibial pulse was always present; in feet with severe def...

Congenital dislocation of the peroneal tendons in the calcaneovalgus foot.

Congenital dislocation of the peroneal tendons is a rare and infrequently reported deformity of the foot in the neonate. Four cases of this deformity associated with a congenital calcaneovalgus deformity of the foot have been treated and followed to the resolution of both of the deformities. The calcaneovalgus foot proved more resistant to correction and required more prolonged and aggressive t...
