THE NORMAL FOOT


Complex organ that is required to be
Stable: for supporting the body weight in

standing

Resilient: for walking and running


Mobile: to accommodate variations of surface
Cosmetic

CTEV

Definitions
Talipes:
Equinus:

Talus (Latin = ankle bone)


Pes (Latin = foot)
(Latin = horse)
Foot that is in a position of
planter flexion at the ankle,
looks like that of the horse.

Calcaneus: Full dorsiflexion at the ankle

Planus:

flatfoot

Cavus:

highly arched foot

Varus:

heel going towards


the midline
heel going away
from the midline
forefoot going
Forefoot
towards the midline
forefoot going away
From the midline

Valgus:
Adduction:
Abduction:

Hind foot

Etiology
Exact cause unknown
Genetic defect
Multifactorial

although many of these factors are


speculative
Some of these factors are :
Abnormal intrauterine forces
Arrested fetal development
Abnormal muscle and tendon insertions
Abnormal rotation of the talus in the mortise
Germ plasm defects

Basic Pathology
Abnormal Tarsal Relation

Congenital Dislocation /
Subluxation
Talo Calcaneo Navicular Joint
Soft Tissue Contracture
Congenital Atresia

Incidence
Occurs approximately in 1-2 of every

1000 live birth


In affected families, clubfeet are
about 30 times more frequent in
offspring
Male are affected in about 50% of
cases
Bilateral cases are as high as 30 40
%

CTEV Diagnosis
At birth &
Characteristic Deformity :
Hind foot
Equinus (Ankle joint)
Varus
(Subtalar joint)
Fore foot
Adduction (Med tarsal joint)
Supination fore foot
Cavus some times
Heel : small, high, deep
creases appear post and medialy

Diagnosis

Hind foot
Equinus, Varus

Fore foot
Adduction, Supination, Cavus

Diagnosis

Diagnosis
X-Ray needed to assess progress of
treatment
Abnormal: angle > decrease
Normal:
Lateral: talocalcaneal angle 40

AP: talocalcaneal angle 20-40

Adaptive Changes

Bony : Change in the shape of tarsal and metatarsal


bones especially after walking

Soft Tissue : Shortening ? Contracture in the


Concave Side
1- Muscles
2- Tendons
3- Ligaments
4- Joints Capsule
5- Skin
6- Nerves & Vessels

Normal baby the foot can be dorsoflexed and everted


until the
toes touch the front of the leg > in CTEV; this
manoeuvre meet
varying degree resistance/fixed

Diagnosis
General Examination :
Exclude
Neurological lesion that can cause the

deformity Spina Bifida


Other abnormalities that can explain the
deformity Arthrogryposis, Myelodysplasia
Presence of concomitant congenital
anomalies
Proximal femoral focal deficiency
Syndromatic clubfoot
Larsens syndrome, Amniotic band
Syndrome

Treatment
The goal is to obtain a plantigrade
foot that is functional, painless, and
stable over time
A cosmetically pleasing appearance

Treatment
Non operatif treatment should begin shortly after birth
Gentle manipulation
2. Immobilization > Technique Ponseti
- Strapping
- synthetic cast > long leg casts, change
weekly
until 8-12 weeks
3. Splints to maintain correction
- Ankle-foot orthosis
- Dennis Brown splint
1.

Surgical Treatment
Indications
Late presentation, after 6 months of age

!
Complementary to conservative
treatment
Failure of conservative treatment
Residual deformities after conservative
treatment
Recurrence after conservative treatment
Severe/rigid deformities
