Abstract

Congenital dislocation of the subtalar joint is a very rare deformity and one of the causes of the calcaneovalgus foot. Only 2 cases were reported earlier in the literature. We are reporting the third case. A seven year old female child came to our hospital with a deformity of the left foot noticed by parents at birth. There was no history of trauma. The patient was treated in early childhood with casting. On examination the foot was in severe valgus and the patient was bearing weight on the medial malleolus. Calcaneus was displaced laterally. Radiographs and a CT scan of the left foot confirmed the diagnosis of a congenital subtalar dislocation. Surgical correction was achieved through lengthening of various tendons and release of subtalar joint followed by fixation with a K wire.
Keywords: Congenital subtalar dislocation, Calcaneovalgus foot, K wire fixation, Ankle foot orthosis

Abstract

Children with cerebral palsy often have foot deformities, equinovarus being one of the most common deformities. Several procedures have been advocated, centered around rerouting the tibialis posterior tendon. Whole transfer of the tendon is associated with poor results. The current study aims to establish the efficacy of split tendon transfer of the posterior tibial tendon rerouted through the interosseous membrane and anchored to the lateral cuneiform. Surgical results were analyzed using an indigenously developed score, considering the cultural need for bare foot walking.
Keywords- Split tendon transfer of tibialis posterior, Equinovarus deformity, Cerebral palsy
