This document provides an overview of clubfoot including terminology, epidemiology, classification, deformities, pathoanatomy, treatment approaches, and surgical management. Some key points:
- Clubfoot is a congenital foot deformity affecting 1-2 in 1000 live births. It involves four primary deformities - cavus, adduction, varus, and equinus.
- Non-operative treatment involves serial casting using the Ponseti method to gradually correct the deformities. This is followed by bracing to maintain correction.
- Surgical options are considered for resistant or recurrent cases. Procedures include soft tissue releases and osteotomies to realign the bones. The goal is to achieve
This document summarizes congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) including its epidemiology, classifications, clinical assessment methods, and treatment approaches. Clubfoot is more common in boys and often bilateral. It involves four main deformities: equinus, varus, adduction, and cavus. Treatment options include serial casting using the Ponseti method (non-operative) or soft tissue release surgery. The Ponseti method involves weekly cast changes to gradually correct the deformities followed by a percutaneous Achilles tenotomy in resistant cases. Bracing is then used to maintain the correction. Surgery is reserved for resistant or recurrent clubfeet.
- Clubfoot, scoliosis, spinal bifida, congenital hip dislocation, and torticollis are common congenital deformities and malformations.
- Scoliosis is a lateral curvature of the spine that can be classified based on location and severity. It is usually treated first through bracing or casting and may require surgery for more severe cases.
- Clubfoot, or congenital talipes equinovarus, involves four basic deformities of the foot that can be graded using the Pirani score. The Ponseti method is usually first-line treatment involving serial casting and bracing.
- Congenital hip dislocation occurs when the femoral head is spontaneously dislocated from the acetab
Adult-acquired flatfoot deformity is caused by posterior tibial tendon dysfunction and results in collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. It is classified into stages based on deformity severity and joint involvement.
Conservative management is recommended for stages 1 and 2, involving rest, orthotics, physical therapy and bracing to correct deformities. Surgery is considered if conservative measures fail for over 4-6 months. Joint-sparing procedures are preferred, such as posterior tibial tendon repair/transfer and medializing calcaneal osteotomy. For more severe stage 2 cases, lateral column lengthening procedures like calcaneocuboid fusion or Evan's osteotomy may be used. Stages 3 and
This document discusses the history and management of clubfoot. It describes non-operative treatments from ancient times through modern methods like the Ponseti technique. The Ponseti method, developed in the 1940s, is now the standard first-line treatment as it is safe, effective, and decreases the need for surgery. It involves serial casting and manipulation to correct the deformity, often with a percutaneous Achilles tenotomy. Surgical treatment is reserved for resistant or recurrent cases, with approaches like the Turco or Cincinnati incisions. Postoperative care varies but often involves casting or K-wire fixation followed by exercises. Complications can include injury, infection, stiffness or over/undercorrection. Proper understanding of anatomy and
This document discusses adult-acquired flatfoot deformity, including its anatomy, causes, presentation, diagnosis, and treatment options. It notes that the deformity encompasses a wide range of conditions that vary in location and severity. The posterior tibial tendon is a major dynamic stabilizer of the arch, and its dysfunction or failure is a common cause of flatfoot in adults. Treatment progresses from nonsurgical options like orthotics to surgery if symptoms persist or the deformity worsens, with the goal of proper foot alignment and flexibility.

This document discusses various types of casts used to immobilize different body parts, including hip spica casts, thumb spica casts, and shoulder spica casts. It provides details on the indications, techniques, positions, and complications of each type of cast. It also covers functional cast bracing, which allows controlled movement and weight bearing during fracture healing to promote rapid recovery. A variety of plaster and thermoplastic materials can be used to fabricate functional bracing devices for the upper and lower limbs.
The document discusses congenital talipes equino varus (clubfoot). It is a birth deformity where the foot is twisted inward and downward. It involves muscle, tendon and bone abnormalities. Causes may be genetic or due to in-utero factors. Treatment involves manipulation, serial casting and sometimes surgery to correct the deformity. The goal is to fully correct the clubfoot early in life through non-surgical or surgical methods and maintain the correction through bracing and exercises.
This presentation discusses congenital talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) including its epidemiology, anatomy, classification, clinical features, and management. Clubfoot is a deformity of the foot and ankle characterized by equinus, inversion, adduction and internal tibial torsion. It occurs in approximately 1 in 1000 live births. Treatment involves serial casting or the Ponseti method for mild-moderate cases and soft tissue releases and osteotomies for severe cases. Long term follow up is important to prevent recurrence of the deformity.
Ankle & Foot Xray & Surgical ApproachesMirant Dave
This document describes various x-ray views and surgical approaches for the foot and ankle. It provides details on the Ottawa ankle rules for determining when radiography is needed for ankle injuries. It then describes common ankle and foot x-ray views including AP, lateral, mortise, and oblique views. Finally, it outlines several surgical approaches for the ankle including anterolateral, anterior, lateral, posterolateral, and Ollier approaches.
1. The cavus foot work-up involves identifying the underlying etiology, whether the deformity is forefoot or rearfoot driven, the plane of the deformity, and if it is rigid or flexible.
2. Common causes of cavus foot include neuromuscular conditions like cerebral palsy and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.
3. Treatment depends on the classification - soft tissue procedures for flexible deformities and osteotomies or arthrodesis for rigid ones. Identifying the specific nature of the deformity guides appropriate treatment.
Foot drop is the inability to lift the front part of the foot. It can be caused by injuries or conditions that damage the common peroneal nerve. Symptoms include difficulty lifting the foot and dragging the toes. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include bracing, nerve stimulation, tendon transfers, or joint fusions. The goal is to improve mobility and gait.

This document provides an overview of fractures of the calcaneus bone. It begins with background, noting that calcaneus fractures make up about 2% of fractures and most commonly occur in males aged 21-45 from falls or car accidents. While treatment results have historically been poor, operative fixation can provide better long-term outcomes than conservative care for displaced intra-articular fractures. The document then covers anatomy, classifications, mechanisms of injury, imaging, treatment approaches including closed reduction, open reduction and internal fixation, complications, and take-home points.
This document provides an overview of the Ponseti technique for treating clubfoot. It discusses the pathophysiology and classification of clubfoot, as well as the key steps of the Ponseti method including serial casting, Achilles tenotomy, and foot abduction bracing. The Ponseti technique uses gentle manipulation and serial casting to gradually correct the deformity, with a tenotomy sometimes needed to achieve full correction. Proper bracing is essential to maintain correction long-term. Recurrence rates are low (under 10%) when the Ponseti method is followed correctly. Surgery is rarely needed when this technique is used.
This document provides an overview of ankle and foot radiography, including relevant anatomy, positioning techniques, and interpretations. It discusses key bones like the talus and calcaneus.

Relapsed/recurrent –supination /equinus after initial good corrctn
Resistant/rigid –uncorrected with ponsetti/asso with syndromes
Atypical/complex
5. Epidemiology
• 1-2 in 1000 live births
• MC congenital ortho condition requiring
intensive treatment
• Boys affected twice as often as girls
• 50% of cases bilateral
• Genetic cause strongly suggested in idiopathic
cases
14. • Talar neck deformity (shortened ,internal rotated & plantar
deviation)
• So the body of talus appears externally rotated
DEFORMITIES
15. *Navicular displaced medially and plantarward on the talar head
and has false articular relationship to the medial malleolus
*Cuboid displaced medially on the anterior end of calcaneus
*Calcaneus -Plantar and medial rotated especially its posterior
segment
19. Lack of correctability seperates a true clubfoot from milder
postural clubfoot
Search for associated anomalies and neuromuscular conditions
20. PLUMBLINE TEST
A plumb line drawn from the tip of patella through tibial tubercle
should cut the foot at 1st or 2nd intermetatarsal space.
In ctev it deviates laterally
29. • Midfoot Score = Medial Crease +Lateral Head of Talus+ + Curved Lateral
Border
• Hindfoot Score = Posterior Crease + Rigid Equinus + Empty Heel.
• Total Score Hindfoot & midfoot score.
• measurement of overall deformity from 0 [no deformity] to 6 [severe
deformity]
30. • Dimeglio et al
Each major component
of club foot is graded
clinically from 4 ( most
severe) to
1(most mild)
- EQUINUS
- HEEL VARUS
- MEDIAL ROTATION
OF
CALCANEOPEDAL
BLOCK
- FOREFOOT
ADDUCTUS
Assessment of club foot by
severity
32. • If clubfoot deformity is atypical imaging evaluation
included
• AP and lateral talocalcaneal angles
• Tibiocalcaneal angle
• Talus-first metatarsal angle
RADIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION
33. Kite angle/talocalcaneal angle
• Mid-talar line should pass
through (or just medial to) the
base of the 1st metatarsal
• Mid-calcaneal line should
pass through the base of
the
4th metatarsal.
• angle should measure between
30 and 55 degrees
• usually <20° in a clubfoot
34.
35. Lateral talo calcanealangle
• Angle between mid tarsal axis and calcaneal
inclination axis
• Normal 25-50 degree
• Decrease in ctev according to severity to an angle of 0
degree -parallelism
38. The goal of treatment
To achieve a functional,pain free,plantigrade foot with good
mobility and without calluses
39. Principle
Soft tissue contractures should be stretched out in order to
restore normal tarsal relationship.
Once achieved correction should be maintained till tarsal bones
remoulds stable articular surfaces.
TWO OPTIONS –
1. NON OPERATIVE
2. OPERATIVE
40. HISTORY AND EVOLUTION
Hippocrates 400BC–manipulation and bandaging
Thomas(1834-1891)-forceful manipulations to correct the
deformity
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT-1970,80,90
PMR
Correct the deformity at first .long term-stiff,painful,arthritis
Kite method-1930
French method
Ponsettis method
41. Non- operative
• J.H Kite from 1924 to 1960 > 800 pts at Atlanta
Scottish Rite Hospital
• These outcomes were not reproducible in further studies
Kite corrected each component of clubfoot deformity
separately
Fulcrum – calcaneocuboid joint.
Order
1.adduction
2.varus
3.equinus
42. • He was adamant that one could not proceed to correct the
next deformity until the previous one has been corrected.
• Reason for failure of kites method-anatomically inaccurate
method of manipulation, use of below knee cast
• Kites method also required high numbers of castings
43. FRENCH METHOD(functional)
Daily manipulation and stretching of foot
Stimulation of underactive muscles particularly peroneal
Strapping of the foot to hold in position
Carried out by physiotherapist
Higher level of input and cost required
44. Ignacio Ponceti
• In 1960 s, he developed his non operative approach for club
foot
• At university of lowa,USA
• After studying extensively anatomy of foot and ankle
• Was slow to catch,accepted widely within the last decade
45.
46. • Fulcrum-head of talus
• Protocol- Stretching & manipulating the foot & applying holding
casts & the correction maintained for 5 to 7days
• 5 to 6 cast changes are sufficient to correct most clubfoot
47. Two phases-treatment and maintenance
Treatment phase
begun as early as possible
Order of correction
1.Forefoot cavus
2.forefoot/midfoot adduction
3.Heel varus
4.Hindfoot equinus
48. 1st cast-corrects cavus deformity
Further cast –abducting the foot around head of talus
First bkc and then extended above knee upto groin
Percutaneous tenotomy of tendoachilles done to correct equines
deformity rapidly
After tenotomy foot in the cast 70 degree abduction and 15 deg
dorsiflexion –for 3 weeks

69. Complications of casting
• Tight cast
• Rocker bottom deformity
• Crowded toes
• Flat heel pad
• Sores
• Injury to distal tibial physis
71. • Foot held in maximum dorsiflexion
• Tenotomy done 1.5cm above calcaneal
insertion
• Additional 25 to 30 degree dorsi flexion is
required
72. Maintenance phase
Final cast is removed and infant placed in a brace maintaining the
foot in corrected position
The brace(foot abduction orthosis)-shoes mounted in a bar 70 deg
er,15 deg dorsiflexion
In b/l case-nl leg 30-40 ER
Distance between shoes 1 inch wider than width of shoulder
Brace worn 23 hours each day –first 3 months
Then while sleeping 3-4 years
76. Follow up protocol
2weeks-to troubleshoot compliance issues
3months-nights and naps protocol
every4months-upto3yrs compliance and relapse
every6months-until4yrs
every1-2yrs-until skeletal maturity
77. SURGICAL
Turcos Postero medial soft tissue
release(<3yrs)
• Posterior side:
• Lengthen tendoachilles by
Z- plasty
• Release posterior capsule
of ankle and subtalarjoint
• Release posterior talo fibular
and calcaneo fibular
ligament
78. Medial side
3 tendons
• Tibialis posterior
• Flexor digitorum
longus
•Flexor hallucis longus
3ligaments
• Talo- navicular
• Superficial part of
deltoid ligament
• Springligament(calca
neonavicular lig)
79. • 3 more structures
• Interosseous talo-calcaneal ligament
• Capsules of naviculo-cuneiform
• Cuneiform-first metatarsal joints
80. Plantar side
• Plantar fascia release
• Flexor digitorum brevis and abductor hallucis release
81. Management of recurrence
Recurrence due to non adherence with bracing
Early recurrences treated with manipulation and casting
Surgery after 18months
Achilles tendon lengthening,plantar fascia release if dorsiflexion
insufficient
Anterior tibial tendon transfer if persistant dynamic inversion-3yrs
Posteromedial release-2-3years
Onestage extensile soft tissue release
84. Extensive release includes posterolateral ligament complex-McKay
Allows correction of internal rotation deformity of calcaneus
Modified McKay –through a transverse circumfrential
(CINCINNATI) incision
85. Lateral side
• Release peroneal tendons
• Incise calcaneofibular ligament
• Incise lateral talocalcaneal ligament and lateral
capsule of talocalcaneal joint
• In more resisitant cases origin of extensor digitorum
brevis,cruciate crural ligaments,dorsal
calcaneocuboid lig,cubonavicular lig dissected off
calcaneus to allow anterior portion of calcaneus to
move laterally
86. Transverse cicinnati incision
Begin from medial aspect naviculocuneiform
Joint
Carry incisison posteriorly transversely over
Tendoachilles
Curve over lateral malleolus and end it just
Distal and medial to sinus tarsi
Extend the incisison as required
87. Post op
*Long leg cast with foot in plantarflexion for 2 weeks
*At 2 weeks foot placed in corrected position
6 weeks cast removed
*Ankle foot orthosis applied for maintenance
88. Treatment of resistant or residual clubfoot in older child
*One of the most difficult problems in pediatric orthopaedics
*Each child evaluated carefully
*Prior surgical procedure causing scarring of foot noted
*Most deformities due to undercorrection at the time of primary
operation
*Functional ability of child,severity of symptoms,likelihood of
progression if untreated to be considered
*Repeat manipulation and casting considered-part of the deformity
corrected lessen degree of surgery required
89. *Surgery-soft tissue release and bony osteotomies
*Depends on age,severity of deformity,pathological process
involved
*2-3years-modified mckay procedure
*But if stiffness,avn talus,skin contractures-osteotomy
*>5yrs-requires osteotomy
*Common components of resistant clubfoot-
Adduction+-supination of forefoot
Short medial column/long lateral column
Internal rotation and varus of calcaneus equinus
90. Forefoot adduction –multiple metatarsal osteotomy/combined
medial cuneiform and lateral cuboid osteotomies
Isolated heel varus + mild forefoot supination-dwyer osteotomy
with lateral closing wedge osteotomy of calcaneum(ideal 3-4yrs)
Hindfoot varus +residual IR calcnm+long lateral column of foot-
Litchblau procedure(ideal 3+years)
Residual midfoot deformities-talonavicular arthrodesis
All three deformities >10years-triple arthrodesis
Ilizarov method/jess-3D deformity correction-
rigid,relapsed,untreated clubfoot
91. Dwyer osteotomy
• Osteotomy of calcaneus
• Opening wedge medial
osteotomy to increase the
length and height of
calcaneus
• Bone taken from tibia
• For isolated heel varus
• Modified method uses
lateral incisions kwire fixn
92. Dilwyn Evan’sprocedure
• For recurrent/ neglected cases between 4- 8 years old
• PMSTR + calcaneo-cuboid wedge
• Resection and fusion
• Shortens lateral column
• Long term stiffness of hind foot
96. Triple arthrodesis
• Salvage sx for uncorrected clubfoot in older ,adolescent
• For painful stiff foot
• Correction of large degrees of deformity in neglected clubfeet
• Lateral closing wedge osteotomy subtalar,midtarsal jts(cc,tn)
• Post op stiffness but functional improvement
97. • TALECTOMY
• Syndromic clubfoot
• Severe untreated club
foot
• Uncorrectable by
other techniques
• Complete excision of talus
• Derotate foot & displace
calcaneum into ankle mortise
until navicular abuts anterior
edge of tibial plafond.
100. • COMPLICATIONS OF SURGERY
• Neurovascular injury
• Skin dehiscence
• Wound infection
• AVN talus
• Dislocation of the navicular
• Flattening and breaking of the talar head
• Dorsal bunion
102. ATYPICAL/COMPLEX CLUBFOOT
*Refractory to usual corrective manipulation
*Rigid equinus,severe plantar flexion of all
metatarsals,talus,calcaneus
*Deep crease above heel,transverse crease in the sole
*Short hyperextended first toe
*High cavus
*Normal neurologic examination
*2/3rd –anterolateral bowing of tibia
*Xray –talocalcaneal angle parallel both ap and lateral
103.
104. TREATMENT
*Modified ponsetti method
*Increased no. of cast,relapse,surgical release
*Place thumb over talar head,index finger over posterior aspect LM
*Abduct the foot
*Forefoot adduction is corrected
*Plantarflexion of metatarsal corrected by-grasping the ankle with
both hands and dorsiflexing the foot with both thumb under
metatarsal
*Knee casted in 110deg flexion
*Percutaneous achilles tenotomy after plantarfl of mt corrected
*2nd tenotomy may be required
*Once 5def dorsiflexion and 40deg abduction-bracing
