Can you get clubfoot as a baby?
What is Clubfoot? Clubfoot describes a group of foot abnormalities ,in which your baby's foot is twisted in. The tendons ( tissues connecting muscles to bone ) are shorter than usual. Clubfoot is the most common birth defect. 1:1,000 highest prevalence in Hawaiians and Maoris male:female ratio approximately 2:1 Anatomic location 50%of cases are bilateral Epidemiology Associated conditions arthrogryposis diastrophic dysplasia myelodysplasia tibial hemimelia amniotic band syndrome (Streeter dysplasia) upper extremity and hand anomalies common in this population Pierre Robin syndrome Opitz syndrome Larsen syndrome prune-belly syndrome anterior tibial artery hypoplasia or absence is common, regardless of etiology of clubfoot Anatomy of Clubfoot? Muscle contractures contribute to the characteristic deformity that includes (CAVE) Cavus (tight intrinsics, FHL, FDL) Adductus of forefoot (tight tibialis posterior) Varus (tight tendoachilles, tibialis posterior, tibialis anterior) Equinus (tight tendoachilles) Bony deformity consists of medial spin of the midfoot and forefoot relative to the hindfoot talar neck is medially and plantarly deviated calcaneus is in varus and rotated medially around talus navicular and cuboid are displaced medially Are Club Feet genetic? strongly suggested unaffected parents with affected child have 2.5% - 6.5% chance of having another child with a clubfoot familial occurrence in 25% link to PITX1 How are Clubfeet diagnosed? Ultrasound 1st trimester associated anomalies, including non-musculoskeletal 2nd trimester true clubfeet 3rd trimester false positive rate is higher due to intrauterine crowding Radiographs often not taken recommended views, if taken(dorsiflexion lateral (Turco view) AND AP Treatment of Clubfeet? Ponseti method. Gentle stretching and casting to gradually correct the deformity. Treatment begins shortly after birth 6-8 weekly plasters needed Achilles tenotomy. 90 percent of babies will require a minor procedure to release continued tightness in the Achilles tendon (heel cord), managed by Tendo Achilles Tenotomy i.e the tendon is cut. Plaster is then applied for 3 weeks. Bracing. The brace keeps the foot at the proper angle to maintain the correction. This bracing program can be demanding for parents and families, but is essential to prevent relapses.
