Club foot deformity

Hytham Nafady

Talipes, also known as club foot, is a congenital deformity where the foot is twisted from its normal position. There are three main components of Talipes equinovarus: plantar flexion at the ankle joint (equinus deformity), inversion at the subtalar joint (varus deformity), and adduction at the tarsometatarsal joints (adduction deformity of the forefoot). Radiological findings that indicate club foot include the talo-calcaneal angle measuring 0 degrees or reversed on AP radiograph, and the mid-talar and mid-calcaneal lines pointing lateral to the metatarsal heads rather than through them. The mid-talar line also forms

Clubb foot

jasmin sahana shabnam

Clubfoot is a congenital condition where one or both feet are twisted into an abnormal position at birth. It occurs in about 1 in 1,000 live births and is more common in males. The cause is abnormal foot development in the uterus. Treatment involves gradually correcting the deformity with casts and splints, followed by exercises to maintain the correction and prevent recurrence. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for skin breakdown and impaired circulation during casting, teaching parents how to care for the child, and addressing psychosocial impacts of the condition.

Foot Deformities

suravipramanik

Claw toe, hammer toe, bunions, and flat feet are common foot deformities that can cause pain. Conservative treatments include orthotics, stretching, and shoe modifications. Surgeries such as bunionectomy, tendon transfer, and osteotomy may be needed to correct severe deformities. Other foot conditions like Charcot foot and hallux valgus can develop due to diseases such as diabetes or arthritis and may require surgery and immobilization for treatment.

Flexible flatfoot (pes planovalgus)

Hamid Hejrati

This document summarizes flexible flatfoot, including its definition, symptoms, diagnosis, natural history, and treatment options. Flexible flatfoot is one of the most common foot deformities seen in children. The foot appears pronated and flattened during weight bearing but the arch reconstitutes when not bearing weight. Conservative treatment includes exercises, orthotics, and supportive shoes. For severe, symptomatic cases not improving with conservative care, surgical options like heel cord lengthening, lateral column lengthening, and talonavicular imbrication can provide pain relief and arch correction while preserving joint motion.
