Does anyone know of a link or is there a link to a site/list of

illnesses/defects related to clubfoot? If no link... does anyone off

hand know what they can be?

Thank you.

I just did a google search of " clubfoot, syndrome " and it comes up

with lots of different sites.

I don't know of one site that lists clubfoot and it's related

defects probably because clubfoot is usually the " afterthought "

physical issue, not the main problem.

Here's a quote from the Korean Radiology Journal off that google

site:

Clubfoot

Where prenatal ultrasonography indicates that the lower leg bones

and sole of the foot are not perpendicular, clubfoot is diagnosed.

The foot may be oriented in the same plane as the lower leg, or

parallel to and alongside it (Fig. 8). Laterally, the lower leg and

the hind part of the foot may form a round-shaped continuum.

Clubfoot may occur in isolation or in association with numerous

other conditions, including general musculoskeletal disorders,

arthrogryposis and genetic syndromes, and CNS and karyotype

abnormalities. In 10 14% of cases it is associated with other

structural malformations, and in 6 22% of cases, there is also

significant risk of karyotype abnormality (3).

Is there something specific you're looking for?
