Abstract CTEV (clubfoot) is a complex, congenital, contractual malalignment of the bones and joints of the foot and ankle that is difficult to correct. The individual individual deformity has four components: Equinus of the hindfoot, Varus at the midtarsal joint complex, Cavus (plantar flexion of the forefoot on the hindfoot), and Adductus of the forefoot on the midfoot (3) CTEV is one of the most common congenital anomalies encountered in pediatric orthopedics. Its incidence is approximately 1 in every 1000 live births. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Bilateral deformities occur in 50% of patients. Boys are affected twice as often as girls (77) . |
