Clubfoot (CTEV)
TYPES:
Postural: minor and corectable
Idiopathic
Acquired (Central Nerve Systeme disease, Arthrogryposis)
INCIDENCE:
Occurs approximately in 2 of every 1000 live birth
Male are affected in about 2X girls
Bilateral cases are as high as 50 %
Genetic factor in 10%
BASIC PATHOLOGY:
neuro-muscular cause starting from the early stage of
embryonic development
Clubfoot (CTEV)
Normal foot
CHARACTERISTIC DEFORMITY :
Hind foot:
Equinus
(Ankle joint)
Varus
(Subtalar joint)
Fore foot:
Forefoot
Hind foot
Adduction (Mid tarsal joint)
Supination
Cavus
Abnormal Tarsal Relation
and Soft Tissue Contracture
Short Achilles tendon
High and small heel
No creases behind Heel
Abnormal crease in
middle of the foot
Foot is smaller
Callosities
Internal torsion of leg
Calf muscles wasting
Dont prevent walking
Normal foot
Clubfoot
Clubfoot (CTEV)
TREATMENT :
GOAL IS TO OBTAIN A FUNCTIONAL, PAINLESS AND NORMAL
APPEARANCE PLANTIGRADE FOOT THAT STABLE OVER TIME.
Clubfoot (CTEV)
TREATMENT :
B. Surgical treatment if failure/ recurrence of conservative treatmt
Soft tissue operations are best performed at 3 to 6 months, but still
effective until the first 5 years:
release of contractures,
tenotomy,
tendon elongation/transfer,
restoration of bony relationship
Bony operations at 5 to 10 years : (Usually accompanied with soft
tissue operation):
osteotomy,
wedge excision arthrodesis,
salvage operation to restore shape

TREATMENT :
AIMS:
HOW?:
Method depends on age: the earlier started, the easier
the treatment and the better the results
Should be detected EARLY
Most resolve spontaneously in neonatal period
DDH/CDH
TREATMENT
18MO-5 YEARS :
Limited abduction
Shortening ( Galeazzi )
Hamstring stretch sign
Trendelenburg
> 5 YEARS :
Trendelenburg
Hamstring stretch sign
>5 YEARS:
-Open reduction,
-Innominate osteotomy and / or femoral
shortening
DDH/CDH
TREATMENT :
ACHONDROPLASIA
DWARFISM: A failure of longitudinal
growth in the cartilage of the epiphyseal
plate of all bones that form by
endochondral ossification
Occurs in about one in every 25,000 births
Have a normal mentality and life
expectancy
Achondroplasia is hard to live with because
of lung infections and walking difficulties.
Currently is no way to normalize skeletal
development (even with hormonal or
Illizarof surgery)
MARFANS SYNDROME
A heritable condition that affects the connective tissue
with an excessive longitudinal growth in the cartilage of
the epiphyseal plate of all bones (hyperchondroplasia)
that form by endochondral ossification
Arachnodactily: Spider fingers, excessive length
of the limbs and lesser extent of the trunk
Occurs rarely, male = female,
Life threatening by generally weak condition, with joint
laxity, scoliosis, pectus excavatum, extremely flexible
flat feet, and congenital heart disease and congenital
dislocation of the lens

THE SEQUELAE:
Subchondral fracture in the epiphysis, Subluxation of the joint,
Deformity of the epiphysis and Secondary degenerative joint disease
LEGG-CALV-PERTHES DISEASE
OSTEOCHONDROSIS OF FEMORAL HEAD
Usually ages 3-11years (mostly 6-8)
(AVASCULAR NECROSIS OF EPIPHYSES)
As early as 2 years, as late as teens
Boys:Girls = 5 : 1
Bilateral 15% of the affected children
Caused by poorly understood non
genetic factors
No evidence of inheritance ?? 10%
Salter-Thompson Classification
Simplification of Catterall
Based on status of lateral
margin of capital femoral
epiphysis
Group A (Catterall I & II
equivalent): less than 50%
Group B (Catterall III & IV
equivalent): more than 50%
(disorders
of epiphyseal
growth plate)
SLIPPED
UPPER
FEMORAL
EPIPHYSIS
ADOLESCENT COXA VARA: the epiphysis
slips downward and backward in relation to the neck
of femur. Second hip attack in 30% subsequently
Older child from 9 years old to the end of growth.
Tall thin or obese Frohlich type.
Boys>girls
Imbalance between growth hormone and sex
hormones weakens the epiphyseal plate, vulnerable
to the shearing forces of weight bearing and injury.
