An Abnormal anatomical variation of any part of the body is a predictor of functional aberration of that part. Congenital talipes equinovarus imposes some functional compromise on the foot, resulting in structural adaptation or modification of the local anatomy in conformity with the direction of the structural stress that subserves the abnormal function. The foot deformities of congenital talipes equinovarus interfere with the locomotive ability of the individual by alteration of gait biomechanical parameters, leading to an imbalance in the gait. Evidence suggests that 80% of infants with congenital talipes equinovarus deformity live in developing countries. The aim of this review article is to promote the awareness of congenital talipes equinovarus deformity among the health care providers' population within the study locality. A review of the literature on the subject of congenital talipes equinovarus deformity was done. Anatomical perspectives, epidemiological information, aetiological factors, patho-anatomy and treatment of congenital talipes equinovarus were extracted and presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
