OBJECTIVE Talipes equinovarus is traditionally viewed in the literature as a congenital disease. CASE REPORT We present here a case of the acquired talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) in a young adult patient that has developed the following osteomyelitis.

The treatment period has extended over three years and involved two operations. CONCLUSIONS This case report will increase awareness of adult orthopedists on acquired talipes equinovarus and propose orthopedic reconstructive strategies to rectify this condition.
