Talipes Equinovarus (Clubfoot) and Other Foot Abnormalities
Talipes calcaneovalgus
The foot is flat or convex and dorsiflexed with the heel turned outward. The foot can easily be approximated against the lower tibia. Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is more common among these children. Early treatment with a cast (to place the foot in the equinovarus position) or with corrective braces is usually successful.
