title: On the pathogenesis of clubfoot.
abstract: Empirical testing has not revealed an indisputable cause of clubfoot. Evidence put forward for intrauterine moulding as a cause of idiopathic clubfoot does not stand up to scrutiny. The hypothesis that a regional growth disturbance is the cause of clubfoot would explain clinical and existing research data.
