Abstract :

The Clubfoot is one of the most common congenital deformities affecting the lower limbs. It still presents controversial aspects regarding etiology and treatment. Calcaneo–Cuboid joint deformity is one of the most important deformity and has been overlooked in the past. Objectives:To assess the prevalence of Calcaneo–Cuboid joint deformity and to correlate it with other radiographic angles in idiopathic CTEV.Methods: This is a prospective study of 125 feet in 80 patients of CTEV, who were investigated radiologically and analyzed for deformities. Results: In our study of 125 feet, the overall prevalence of Calcaneo–Cuboid joint deformity was found to be 40%, with severe grade deformity present in around 19% of the feet. A strong correlation with Talo–calcaneal angle and Talo–metatarsal angle on AP view, and not with Talo–calcaneal angle on lateral view was found. Conclusion:The importance of Calcaneo–cuboid joint deformity in CTEV should not be overlooked.
