title: Radiological score in the assessment of clubfoot.
abstract: The clinical appearance and the radiographs of 31 patients with 47 clubfeet taken before the start of treatment have been studied. In spite of making a careful clinical evaluation, 14 feet (29.8%) remained "borderline" and could not be definitely classified into the easy or resistant groups. The radiological score of the foot, which is an objective representation of the severity of the deformities at all important levels and in all planes, has been found to be an accurate and sensitive index which enables such a distinction to be made.
