Clubfoot: its pathological anatomy.
The pathologic anatomy of clubfoot is complex, and the opportunities to examine neonatal specimens are inevitably rare. Three clubfeet were dissected and compared with a normal foot. The shape, orientation, and alignment of the bones were gauged, and tibial torsion was measured. Particular attention was paid to the "medial tie," and its etiologic role was considered.
