Investigations and management of complex congenital talipes equinovarus
BMJ CASE REPORTS(2024)
摘要
Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital deformity affecting the feet, commonly idiopathic in nature. We present a previously unreported cause of a non-idiopathic clubfoot and highlight the importance of poor response to initial treatment.A poor response to Ponseti serial casting for CTEV should alert a clinician to the fact that the foot may not be in the 'idiopathic' group and be of a more complex nature. Idiopathic clubfoot should correct with a maximum of eight serial manipulations, cast applications and Achilles tendon tenotomy. If this is not the case, a repeat careful history, full examination, further investigations and review of the treatment method are required.
