title: Absence of the dorsalis pedis pulse in the parents of children with club foot.
abstract: There is some evidence that the anterior tibial vascular tree is poorly developed in children with club foot. We have found a significantly greater prevalence of absence of the dorsalis pedis pulse in the parents of such children. We also found significantly more tobacco smokers among the club-foot parents than in the control group.
