Congenital malformations of the lower extremities.
An understanding of the normal and pathologic development of the lower limb allows the physician a fuller appreciation of the clinical and functional disabilities that each congenital malformation may present. Treatment to allow achievement of each child's fullest potential may then be better attained.
