Talipes calcaneovarus - what does this mean
Talipes calcaneovarus, commonly known as clubfoot, is a congenital condition that occurs when the muscles and ligaments of the foot are abnormally tight, causing the foot to be twisted inwards and downwards. this results in an inability to walk normally and can affect one or both feet.
What happens during the disease - talipes calcaneovarus
Talipes calcaneovarus is a condition in which the foot is abnormally turned inward and downward. it is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. during fetal development, the muscles and tendons that support the foot fail to develop properly, leading to a restriction in the range of motion in the foot. this restriction in movement causes the foot to become twisted and rigid. it can also be caused by a lack of blood supply to the foot, which can damage the muscles and tendons, leading to the same deformity.
