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

چکیده
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 varus. Only the uncomplicated congenital deformity has been investigated-patients with spina bifida, cerebral palsy and arthrogryposis are not included. The hospital serves the greater part of the largely rural county of Devon (excluding the Plymouth area), whose population is fairly stable, so that it is relatively easy to trace families and it is possible to follow progress over long periods.

Whereas in the normal foot the medial and lateral columns are about equal in length, in talipes equino-varus the lateral column is longer and in calcaneo-valgus shorter than the medial column. The suggestion is that in the treatment of both defo...
