چکیده
Congenital talipes equinovarus, more commonly known as clubfoot, is a idiopathic congenital birth defect that affects in 1 in 1000 births. 1 The most widely used and well known treatment is the Ponseti method commonly followed by an Achilles tenotomy. This method is effective on roughly 90% of all cases. The severity of this idiopathic birth defect can be scored using a few different methods. The most common is the Pinar scoring system which is a simple system that is easily learned and implemented. The Pinar scoring system can also be supplemented by the use of ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to visualize the non-ossified bones and the surrounding soft tissue. Ultrasound can also show the stages of healing the Achilles tendon after the Achilles tenotomy. MRI has also been used to show the effect of congenital talipes equinovarus along all stages of development, from fetus to adulthood.

Role of COL9A1 genetic polymorphisms in development of congenital talipes equinovarus in a Chinese population.
Talipes equinovarus is a common congenital deformity. COL9A1 polymorphisms are associated with the development of articular cartilage-related diseases. In the current study, we evaluated the relationship between COL9A1 rs1135056, rs35470562, and rs592121 genetic polymorphisms and risk of congenital talipes equinovarus. Between January 2013 and July 2015, 87 children with congenital talipes equi...
متن کاملFamily studies and aetiology of club foot.
Congenital club foot and talipes are used to describe various abnormalities of the foot in the newborn child. The most serious of these is talipes equinovarus in which there is plantar flexion of the ankle and inversion of the foot. This deformity is difficult to treat, having a marked tendency to recur, and causes a real disability. About half the cases are bilaterally affected. Patients frequ...
متن کاملTibial torsion measured by ultrasound in children with talipes equinovarus.
Previous clinical studies have studied tibiofibular torsion by measuring the angular difference between a proximal (often bicondylar) plane and a distal bimalleolar plane. We measured the angular difference between the proximal and distal posterior tibial planes as defined by ultrasound scans. We found no significant torsional difference between the right and left tibiae of 87 normal children, ...
متن کاملCongenital talipes equinovarus: a review of current management.
Talipes equinovarus is one of the more common congenital abnormalities affecting the lower limb and can be challenging to manage. This review provides a comprehensive update on idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus with emphasis on the initial treatment. Current management is moving away from operative towards a more conservative treatment using the Ponseti regime. The long-term results of ...

متن کاملBiomechanical assessment of children requiring tibialis anterior surgical tendon transfer for residual congenital talipes equinovarus
Introduction Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a deformity in which the foot is in structural equinus, varus, adductus and cavus and occurs in approximately 1 per 1000 births [1]. Despite good initial correction with the Ponseti technique, a tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT) is required in 20-25% of cases to correct residual dynamic supination observed during gait. Currently, no r...
