    Extractions: What is clubfoot? Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a congenital (present at birth) foot deformity. It affects the bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels and can affect one or both feet. The foot is usually short and broad in appearance and the heel points downward while the front half of the foot (forefoot) turns inward. The heel cord (Achilles tendon) is tight. The heel can appear narrow and the muscles in the calf are smaller compared to a normal lower leg. It occurs in about one in every 1,000 live births and affects boys twice as often as girls. Fifty percent of the cases of clubfoot affect both feet. What causes clubfoot? Clubfoot is considered a "multifactorial trait." Multifactorial inheritance means there are many factors involved in causing a birth defect. The factors are usually both genetic and environmental. Often one gender (either male or female) is affected more frequently than the other in multifactorial traits. There appears to be a different "threshold of expression," which means that one gender is more likely to show the problem than the other gender. For example, clubfoot is twice as common in males as it is in females. Once a child has been born with clubfoot, the chance for it to happen again in a male or female child is about 4 percent overall. In other words, there is a 96 percent chance that another child would not be born with clubfoot.

    Extractions: AI and Pattern Recognition Current Projects Back to main page of AI and Pattern Recognition Group Congenital Talipes Equino-Varus, CTEV or Club Foot is a congenital anomaly which distorts the structures of the child's foot leading to a potentially severe and crippling deformity. Untreated, the child may be severely disabled and may never walk normally. The condition varies from mild to a severe deformity with all grades of severity between. Classification of the club foot is a long standing problem documented in the medical literature. There is a general consensus among surgeons that a more objective method of assessment is required. Recent developments in medicine, in computer hardware, and in the theory of computation concerning invariant pattern recognition and classification are making it possible to tackle the problem in a structured and systematic way. The overall scientific aim of the project is to further our understanding of pattern recognition. The research will provide: a better understanding of how to use 3D metric data from model acquisition and manipulation to symbolic reasoning about categories;

    Extractions: Treatment of idiopathic clubfoot is surgical or manipulative. Despite long-term experience in many centers, there still are outcome controversies surrounding both alternatives. Controversies persist because of lack of a) standards for evaluating functional outcomes, rendering comparisons between treatment groups problematic, and b) long-term follow-up studies of surgically treated clubfeet. The longest published follow-up is the 30-year follow-up of 45 patients (with 71 clubfeet; average age 34 years) treated with the Ponseti method of manipulation and casting at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics between 1950 and 1967.

    Extractions: University of Iowa UI Health Care News: Week of July 2, 2001 Clubfoot is the most common congenital orthopaedic disorder, affecting approximately one out of every 800 babies born in the United States. When a baby has clubfoot, the foot is rotated medially and the toes point towards the opposite foot. In severe cases the toes may almost touch the inner side of the calf. Clubfoot develops mid to late in the mother's pregnancy and its cause is unknown. Parents of infants born with clubfoot are often devastated when they see the deformity. They are usually offered treatment options of major surgery or the old casting method of Kite. After many casts are applied using the Kite method, the child's feet may become stiff and the foot and calf muscles atrophic. Relapses of the deformity are common and debilitating. Doctors acquainted with the Kite method of plaster cast treatment tend to warn the parents the deformity may be difficult to treat and surgery is often necessary at four to five months of age if the treatment fails.

    clubfoot. Definition. clubfoot is a condition in which one or bothfeet are twisted into an abnormal position at birth.  
    http://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/clubfoot.html
    
    Extractions: Definition Clubfoot is a condition in which one or both feet are twisted into an abnormal position at birth. The condition is also known as talipes. Description True clubfoot is characterized by abnormal bone formation in the foot. There are four variations of clubfoot, including talipes varus, talipes valgus, talipes equines, and talipes calcaneus. In talipes varus, the most common form of clubfoot, the foot generally turns inward so that the leg and foot look somewhat like the letter J. In talipes valgus, the foot rotates outward like the letter L. In talipes equinus, the foot points downward, similar to that of a toe dancer. In talipes calcaneus, the foot points upward, with the heel pointing down. Clubfoot can affect one foot or both. Sometimes an infant's feet appear abnormal at birth because of the intrauterine position of the fetus birth. If there is no anatomic abnormality of the bone, this is not true clubfoot, and the problem can usually be corrected by applying special braces or casts to straighten the foot. The ratio of males to females with clubfoot is 2.5 to 1. The incidence of clubfoot varies only slightly. In the United States, the incidence is approximately 1 in every 1,000 live births. A 1980 Danish study reported an overall incidence of 1.20 in every 1,000 children; by 1994, that number had doubled to 2.41 in every 1,000 live births. No reason was offered for the increase.

In talipes equinus, the foot points downward, similar to a toe dancer. Finally, in talipes calcaneus, the foot points upward, with the heel pointing down. Talipes varus is the most common form of clubfoot. Clubfoot is relatively common and occurs more often in boys than in girls. It can affect one foot or both. Sometimes a child's feet appear abnormal at birth because of the way the fetus was positioned before birth. If there is no anatomic abnormality of the bone, it is not true clubfoot and can usually be corrected by applying special braces or casts to straighten the foot.

    Extractions: During my 27 week ultrasound, it was detected that my son would be born with clubfoot. At first I cried, then decided there wasn't anything I could do to change it. I started doing research. We knew it would be a long road, just didn't realize how long of a road it would actually be. On August 28, Blake Austin was born with bilateral clubfoot. He was casted at 2 days old and went in for weekly cast changes. It has been painful for him, as well for us sometimes. You really hurt seeing your poor, innocent baby in full leg casts. It's hard to hold him close without worrying about pinching his legs. They were very awkward and clunky. I missed seeing chubby baby legs and soft feet. But this is the gift God has given us, and we are learning to accept it. We feel God gave us this because he knows we are good enough parents to handle this.

    What is clubfoot? Birth formed. A true clubfoot is a malformation. The bones,joints, muscles, and blood vessels of the limb are abnormal.  
    http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Estates/8210/club1.html
    
    Extractions: Birth deformities of the foot fall into two categories: 1) Positional deformities “packaging defects” of the foot, and 2) Malformations “manufacturing defects” in which the parts are incorrectly formed. A true clubfoot is a malformation. The bones, joints, muscles, and blood vessels of the limb are abnormal. The medical term for this is “talipes equinovarus” relating the shape of the foot to a horses hoof. Don’t ask why! Clubfoot can be recognized in the infant by examination. The foot is inturned, stiff and cannot be brought to a normal position. Children with the condition should be referred to an orthopedic surgeon for complete evaluation and treatment of the deformity. The usual treatment of clubfoot is a series of corrective casts applied early in life to stretch the foot into as corrected a position as possible. Frequently surgery is also needed to release the stiff and misaligned joints of the foot to make it “plantigrade” or flat to the floor. The result of such treatment is usually good with a adequate foot for normal footwear, sports, and cosmesis. Sometimes later in life or late childhood, there can be pain in the foot necessitating special shoe modifications such as arch supports, or even additional corrective surgery.
