Information from ePodiatry on clubfoot and talipes.
http://www.epodiatry.com/clubfoot.htm

Extractions: WebGenius Information for health professionals on clubfoot Clubfoot is a deformity of the whole foot that is present at birth. There are several types of clubfoot that are jointly known as 'talipes', as the deformity is mostly in the talus (a bone in the ankle). The most common of the talipes is what is known as "talipes equino varus" - it is so common that the word clubfoot is commonly used to refer to this. In talipes equino varus, the child is born with the foot pointing down and twisted inwards at the ankle. The foot tends to be smaller than normal. Some children with clubfoot have stiffer joints in the foot and the calf muscles are usually smaller.

Our Story Clubfoot Links This Talipes / Clubfoot site is owned by Teresa McLaughlin Previous 5 Sites Previous Next ... Our Story Welcome to Jakob's Clubfoot Page This is Jakob right after he was born on February 9, 1998. Notice how his feet turn in. This is called Clubfoot or Talipes Equinovarus. Here are Jakob's feet when he was 1 week old. At this point, he had already had one set of casts on and was waiting to see his orthopedic, Dr. Weinstein, in a couple of days. Dr. Weinstein uses the Ponseti Method, which uses casts and a special brace to correct clubfeet non-surgically. This is Jakob with the first set of casts that Dr. Weinstein had put on. During the cast changes, his feet would be manipulated into a more normal position then recasted. The casts were changed once a week to give the tendons and ligaments a chance to adjust to the new position. With each set of casts, Jakob's feet looked more and more normal. This is Jakob in his last set of casts. Before this set of casts were put on, Dr. Weinstein performed a percutaneous tenotomy on Jakob's Achille's tendons. For this in-office procedure, Jakob had his heels numbed with Lidocaine and a small scalpel was used to gently cut the tendons in his heels to allow the heel bones to drop down where they are supposed to be. The Achille's tendons repaired themselves while this set of casts were on.

The defect involves tight tendons and ligaments in the foot and ankle. The surgery involves lengthening some tendons and releasing tight ligaments to place the bones and joints in normal positions. Sometimes, pins are temporarily placed in the foot and a cast is applied after surgery to maintain its position while it heals. Indications Return to top The newborn's clubfoot is initially treated with casts . The tendons, ligaments, and bones are still quite flexible in a newborn and are somewhat easy to reposition. The foot is stretched into a more normal position and a light-weight cast is applied to retain the corrected position. The cast will be removed every week so the foot can be further stretched into better position and maintained with a new cast. This series of casting is continued for approximately 2 months, and is successful in at least 50 - 90% of cases.

Extractions: What is clubfoot? Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a congenital deformity of the foot that occurs in about 1 in 1,000 births in the United States. The affected foot tends to be smaller than normal, with the heel pointing downward and the forefoot turning inward. The heel cord [achilles tendon] is tight, causing the heel to be drawn up toward the leg. This position is referred to as "equinus," and it is impossible to place the foot flat on the ground. Since the condition starts in the first trimester of pregnancy, the deformity is often quite rigid at birth. The three classic signs of clubfeet are 1.) Fixed plantar flexion (equinus) of the ankle, characterized by the drawn up position of the heel and inability to bring to foot to a plantigrade (flat) standing position. This is caused by a tight achilles tendon 2.) Adduction (varus), or turning in of the heel or hindfoot 3.) Adduction (turning under) of the forefoot and midfoot giving the foot a kidney-shaped appearance What does clubfoot look like?

http://www.shrinershq.org/patientedu/clubfoot.html

Extractions: Telephone (509) 623-0400 The term "clubfoot" refers to a foot that points downward, the toes turn inward, and the bottom of the foot faces inward. The foot is positioned this way when the baby is born and so it is called a "congenital clubfoot." Clubfoot sometimes occurs along with other birth defects, but usually it is the only problem the child has. The doctor takes an X-ray to see how the bones in the foot are shaped. Sometimes a baby's foot is turned inward but the bones are shaped normally, and the foot can be gently pulled into a normal position. This can be caused by the baby's position inside the mother's womb. This kind of foot, called a postural clubfoot, may correct without any treatment or with casting for several weeks. The doctor may say that the baby "will grow out of it." In a true clubfoot the bones are not shaped normally and the foot seems to be "stuck" somewhat in its position. This kind of foot may need surgery. How often does clubfoot happen?

Extractions: Wh o are we? We are Iain, Sarah and Scott Parker, and we live in Bideford in North Devon. About this site There are two purposes for this site. The first is to allow friends and family who are scattered around the country and world to see how our family is getting on, and particularly so that "The Grannies" can see how young Scott is growing up. The second is to share our experience dealing with Scott's feet, as he was born with a foot deformity - Bilateral Talipes Equinovarus , otherwise known as Club Foot. Scott has undergone surgery at 10 months old, and further surgery in June/July 2003, at the age of 2 1/2 years old. He spent 3 months in plaster casts each time and is currently (Summer 2004) on the waiting list for more treatment for a rather troublesome right foot. This is most likely to involve the use of Ilizarov (fixator) frames sometime in the next 2 years. We've come a long way, and hopefully reading about our experience, and seeing photos of Scott throughout this period, will be useful to other families going though a similar experience.

Extractions: Here is our story I had been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years with the help of my OB, but for some reason I just couldn't conceive. I finally decided, it was time to give up... Well, 2 months after giving up I discovered that I was pregnant with my little Jakie!!!!! I was sooooooo excited. I called all of my family to give them my good news, but I hadn't expected the responses that they gave. Half of them asked me if I was crazy and the other half asked if I knew what this was going to do to my body (I have Peri Neural Cysts on my Syatic Nerves) Which is very painful. I told them that I knew exactly what I was doing and would handle it just fine. Right around my fifth month the baby decided that laying on my Syatic Nerves was very comfortable for him :-( My older son Tony would literally have to walk me from my bedroom to the bathroom. He would wait patiently for me outside the door and walk me back to my room.

Virtual Children's Hospital: Treatment Of Congenital Clubfoot

Extractions: Last Revised: May 2004 Table of Contents This site's Awards, Comments and Reviews Auf Deutsch Our treatment is easy to learn. An interested resident is proficient in the technique after correcting two or three clubfeet. The main stages of the correction are illustrated in Figs. 1 to 9 using a facsimile of a clubfoot made of plastic bones and elastic strings. First, the resident learns to identify by palpation the position of the main bones of the foot in relation to the malleoli and to the head of the talus. In the clubfoot the calcaneus, the navicular and the cuboid are rotated medially in relation to the talus, and are firmly held in adduction and inversion by very tight ligaments and tendons ( Fig. 1 ). Although the whole foot is in extreme supination, the forefoot is pronated in relation to the hindfoot and this causes the cavus, the first metatarsal being in more plantar flexion than the lateral metatarsals ( Fig. 2

Extractions: Clubfoot is a birth defect of unknown cause. True clubfoot is characterized by abnormal bone formation in the foot. There are four variations of clubfoot, known as talipes varus, talipes valgus, talipes equinus and talipes calcaneus. In talipes varus the foot generally turns inward so that the leg and foot look somewhat like the letter J. In talipes valgus the foot rotates outward like the letter L. In talipes equinus, the foot points downward, similar to a toe dancer. Finally, in talipes calcaneus, the foot points upward, with the heel pointing down. Talipes varus is the most common form of clubfoot. Clubfoot is relatively common and occurs more often in boys than in girls. It can affect one foot or both. Sometimes a child's feet appear abnormal at birth because of the way the fetus was positioned before birth. If there is no anatomic abnormality of the bone, it is not true clubfoot and can usually be corrected by applying special braces or casts to straighten the foot.

Extractions: Orthopaedics Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a congenital (present at birth) foot deformity. It affects the bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels and can affect one or both feet. The foot is usually short and broad in appearance and the heel points downward while the front half of the foot (forefoot) turns inward. The heel cord (Achilles tendon) is tight. The heel can appear narrow and the muscles in the calf are smaller compared to a normal lower leg. It occurs in about one in every 1,000 live births and affects boys twice as often as girls. One in three cases of clubfoot affect both feet. Clubfoot is considered a "multifactorial trait." Multifactorial inheritance means there are many factors involved in causing a birth defect. The factors are usually both genetic and environmental. Often one gender (either male or female) is affected more frequently than the other in multifactorial traits. There appears to be a different "threshold of expression," which means that one gender is more likely to show the problem than the other gender. For example, clubfoot is twice as common in males as it is in females. Once a child has been born with clubfoot, the chance for it to happen again in a male or female child is about 4 percent overall. In other words, there is a 96 percent chance that another child would not be born with clubfoot. What are the risk factors for clubfoot?
