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...

Congenital talipes equinovarus is a common anomaly which can now be diagnosed prenatally on a routine ultrasound scan at 20 weeks of gestation. Prenatal counselling is increasingly offered to parents with affected fetuses, but it is difficult to counsel parents if there is a chance that the fetus may not have talipes. Our study correlates the prenatal ultrasound findings of 14 infants diagnosed...

BACKGROUND Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a common developmental disorder of the foot, affecting between 1 and 4.5 per 1000 live births. The aetiology is not well elucidated. While both genetic and environmental factors are implicated, no specific genes have been identified and little is known about environmental risk factors. METHODS We conducted a case-control study of idiopathic ...

Congenital talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, is the most common congenital abnormality that over past decades has been diagnosed and treated by various modalities with varying degrees of clinical success. Today it is not only clinicians and physicians who desire to understand the details of diagnosis and treatment, but also the parents of affected children, not only because of the inherent econ...

The Edinburgh Register of the Newborn 1964-1968 and the Edinburgh Scoliosis Clinic 1964-1971 have been used to establish the population frequency in the city of the idiopathic forms of talipes equinovarus and calcaneovalgus, metatarsus varus, congenital dislocation of the hip, and infantile scoliosis. A survey of 165 patients now aged 7 to 11 years showed an aetiological relationship, but with ...

Background: Talipes equino-varus is the most common congenital orthopaedic anomaly. There are various methods for its management. This study was conducted to determine the efficacy of Turco’s one stage postero-medial release in children with congenital talipes equinovarus. Material and Methods: This observational study was conducted from January 2004 to December 2005 in Orthopaedic Unit, Hayata...
