e have assessed the reliability of four classification systems for club foot. Four observers evaluated nine children (18 feet) at different stages in the first six months of life, a total of 180 examinations. Each observer independently assessed all feet according to the classification systems described by Catterall, Diméglio et al, Harrold and Walker, and Ponseti and Smoley. The variation betw...

Relapsed congenital talipes equinovarus is difficult to assess and treat. Pedobarography provides dynamic measurement of the pressures under the foot, and may be used in the assessment of these patients both before and after operation. Our findings showed a statistically significant difference in the distribution of pressure across the foot after treatment by the Ilizarov technique.

In a prospective study over 11 years we assessed the relationship between neonatal deformities of the foot and the presence of ultrasonographic developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). Between 1 January 1996 and 31 December 2006, 614 infants with deformities of the foot were referred for clinical and ultrasonographic evaluation. There were 436 cases of postural talipes equinovarus deformity (T...

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 ...

Background: Acquired talipes equinovarus is usually seen in conditions such as post-polio syndrome, cerebral palsy, meningitis and sciatic nerve damage. However, it may be possible in any condition favouring contracture development. Aim: The aim of this article is to report a case of a 7 year old child who developed acquired talipes equinovarus following tetanus infection. Method: The talipes e...

Mullerian duct anomalies are the most common congenital anomalies of the reproductive system and septate uterus is the most frequently diagnosed Müllerian anomaly. The true incidence of Mullerian duct anomalies is difficult to state because some cases may be asymptomatic and there are pitfalls associated with various diagnostic methods. This is a case report of a 17-year-old primigravida with s...
