TRUE TALIPES
CALCANEOVALGUS DISORDER
4 Separate Types of True Talipes
- Plantar Flexion - an equinus or “horse foot” position, with the forefoot lower than the heel.
- Dorsiflexion - the heel is held lower than the forefoot or the anterior foot is flexed toward the anterior leg.
- Varus deviation - the foot turns in.
- Valgus deviation - the foot turns out.
an equinus or “horse foot” position, with the forefoot lower than the heel.
Plantar Flexion
the heel is held lower than the forefoot or the anterior foot is flexed toward the anterior leg.
Dorsiflexion
the foot turns in.
Varus deviation
the foot turns out.
Valgus deviation
Improper formation and function of the hip socket and is considered a spectrum of abnormalities affecting the hip joint.
May be evident as either subluxation or dislocation of the head of the femur.
With the disorder, the acetabulum of the pelvis is unusually flattened or shallow.
When the child is lying supine and the thighs are flexed to a 90-degree angle toward the abdomen, causing one knee to be
lower than the other.
An unequal number of skin folds may also be present on the posterior thighs

A PAVLIK HARNESS
A SPICA CAST
an adjustable chest halter that abducts the legs.
A PAVLIK HARNESS
if a hip is fully dislocated or the subluxation is severe, an infant may be placed in a frog-leg, A-line cast, or
a spica cast to maintain an externally rotated hip position.
