Equinus deformity due to haemangioma of calf muscle.
نویسنده
چکیده
Joint deformity secondary to extensive haemangiomatous involvement of the soft tissues has been well described and is easy to diagnose. If the haemangioma is small, localised and within the belly of a muscle the diagnosis is more difficult. In equinus deformity of obscure aetiology localised calf tenderness may be the only diagnostic sign. Three children with equinus deformity caused by a small haemangioma in the calf muscles were treated by simple excision with satisfactory results.

When the venous malformation involves the flexor muscles of the leg, equinus deformity and toe-walking may occur. Three patients with unilateral toe-walking secondary to venous malformation of the calf muscle, showing the classic presentation of this unusual conditio...
متن کاملGastrocnemius and soleus lengths in cerebral palsy equinus gait--differences between children with and without static contracture and effects of gastrocnemius recession.
Equinus gait is one of the most common abnormalities in children with cerebral palsy. Although it is generally assumed that the calf muscles are abnormally short in equinus gait, no studies have been done to confirm that the muscles are short and that this shortness contributes to the equinus. This study used musculoskeletal modeling combined with computerized gait analysis to examine medial ga...

There is no question that this biomechanical association exists and in time much more will be uncovered. There are three basic questions that must be answ...

متن کاملThe recognition and treatment of congenital flat foot in infancy.
Congenital flat foot is a rare condition. In a special clinic for foot deformities only one case was found in 121 patients (Osmond-Clarke 1956). Adequate correction depends on recognition of the deformity within a few weeks of birth, and any child presenting with a rigid, dorsiflexed and everted forefoot should be regarded as having congenital flat foot until careful clinical and radiological e...
