Adduction of the forefoot is recognised as one element of the deformity of club foot. It commands little attention because it is one of the less disabling features, and it has been suggested that spontaneous correction eventually occurs (Wynne-Davies 1964). Metatarsus varus and talo-navicular subluxation, singly or in combination, are the two abnormalities responsible for this deformity. The ro...

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 ...

Primary skin closure after surgery for club foot in children can be difficult especially in revision operations. Between 1990 and 1996 a soft-tissue expander was implanted in 13 feet before such procedures. Two were primary operations and 11 were revisions. A standard technique was used for implantation of the expander. Skin augmentation was successful in 11 cases. There was failure of one expa...
