Congenital Abnormalities/Deformities of the Lower Limb

Talipes Equino Equino-Varus Varus – Aetiology
(2)
• Neither of these postulated aetiological
mechanisms have received widspread support
and the most commonly held view isthat the
primary disturbance is a developmental defect of
the soft tissues of the leg affecting particularly
the ligaments on the concave side of the curve,
or possibly, in the case of TEV, the development
of the neck of the talus. Congenital club foot
may be paralytic and secondary to
myelodysplasia.”
