Talipes equinovarus: two case reports and literature review.
Clubfoot, or talipes equinovarus, was introduced into the medical literature by Hippocrates in 400 B.C. The clubfoot deformity is a pathologic condition consisting of inversion and adduction of the forefoot, equinus of the ankle, and inversion of the heel. The condition has also been described as a congenital subluxation of the talocalcaneonavicular joints. This manuscript will review the literature with respect to history, incidence, etiology, anatomy, classification, radiology, and treatment. Two case reports are also presented.
