title: Sever's disease and its relationship to equinus: a statistical analysis.
abstract: This study shows that equinus has a definite impact on predisposing a child to Sever's disease. The clinician may still need to rule out other possible causes of this condition, but equinus is a probable cause and must be treated appropriately.
