Synopsis

Unlocking the mystery of club foot and its treatment — a clear, practical overview of one of orthopedics’ most discussed conditions. This edition presents a surgeon’s approach to understanding Varus, Valgus, and Pes Equinus, and how these deformities are diagnosed and corrected.

This book explains what club foot looks like, why it happens, and how doctors decide the best plan of action. It blends careful observations with hands‑on guidance, including how to use, adjust, and care for corrective devices and casts. It also shares real cases, showing how treatment has evolved and what patients can expect through the care process.


  • How doctors classify the three main forms of club foot and their varieties.

  • Causes—congenital and acquired—along with practical implications for treatment.

  • Step‑by‑step descriptions of the corrective approaches, from gentle extension to tendon division.

  • How to apply and monitor apparatus, braces, and postoperative care for best results.



Ideal for students, medical professionals, and anyone curious about orthopedic history and practice, this edition offers a grounded, example‑driven look at a treatable condition with a long, instructive history.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
