Abstract
‘Clubfoot’, also known as congenital talipes equinovarus, is the most common significant congenital foot and ankle deformity in the UK. The shorthand term, talipes, should be avoided because it risks confusion with talipes calcaneovalgus, a benign condition whose only significance is an association with developmental dysplasia of the hip (see page 5), and with postural talipes equinovarus, another benign condition in which the foot and ankle lie in an equinovarus position that can look rather severe, but is easily correctable from the outset with a minimum of corrective force. If a single word is to be used for the deformity, clubfoot is preferable.
