DEF

A deformity of the foot in which the heel is turned inward from the midline of the leg and the foot is plantar flexed.

OBS

This is associated with the raising of the inner border of the foot (supination) and displacement of the anterior part of the foot so that it lies medially to the vertical axis of the leg (adduction). With this type of foot the arch is higher (cavus) and the foot is in equinus (plantar flexion). This is a typical clubfoot.

OBS

The term "talipes equinovarus" was recommended by the Medical Signs and Symptoms Committee.
