Case Report on Neglected bilateral feet Congenital Talipes Equinovarus with Callosities on the lateral aspect

Abstract

Background: Congenital deformity of both feet is also called clubfoot. A common congenital orthopedic condition characterized by an excessively turned in the foot (equinovarus) and high medial longitudinal arch (cavus). If neglected the deformity can result in long‐term disability and pain. Interventions can be conservative such as splinting or stretching or surgical. Talipes equinovarus is one of the more common congenital abnormalities affecting the lower limb and can be challenging to manage. There is evidence for a genetic contribution to congenital talipes equinovarus etiology. Case Presentation: A 7 years old Male child came to the Pediatric department with a chief complaint of deformity of both feet since birth. No Interventions were done during the first month of the baby. And that serial casting was done on both feet for 1 year, yet no correction was observed. After 1 year of age posterior soft tissue release of the right leg. After every 10 days, serial casting was done and yet no correction was observed. Now came to the Pediatric department for further management. On arrival, a physical examination of the foot was carried out which shows swelling over the right leg along with tenderness. The Contrast Enhanced Computed Tomography was done later he was treated with antibiotics, analgesics, and antacids. Conclusion: It is a congenital deformity foot. The congenital deformity of the foot may occur lateral and bilateral. The congenital deformity of the bilateral foot is common in children. The bilateral deformity of the foot affects 80% or more. The most significant contributing component to its cause appears to be heredity. The prevalence of congenital talipes is uncommon and roughly equal in both sexes.
