Fig 2. Clinical photographtop centre
•Skew foot = Heel in valgus but forefoot adducted
•Associated with “packaging”
•Torticollis
•DDH
•Knee dislocation
•CTEV (?)
•Clinical
•Intoeing
•Ddx: femoral anteversion, tibial intorsion
•must rule out DDH, blounts

Natural history by Ponseti – 88% spontaneous resolution

Classification

•Berg – include skew foot
•Simple MTA
•Complex MTA – MTA + midfoot lateral shift
•Simple Skew – MTA + hindfoot valgus
•Complex skew – simple skew + midfoot lateral shaft
•Bleck – MTA
•Heel bisector line
•2,3
•3
•3,4
•4,5
•Mx for MTA
•Mild – correct beyond 2nd web – observe
•Mod – correct to 2nd web – stretch
•Severe – correct not to 2nd web – casting
•Failed – OT at 4 yo, cuboid shortening + 1st MC lengthening
•Skew foot
•Deformity
•Hindfoot valgus
•Midfoot abduction (TNJ lateral subluxation)
•FF adduction

Causes:

•NM
•Arthrogryposis
•Iatrogenic - improper casting for MT adductus

Management

•Cast first
•Osteotomy (refractory)
•Calcaneus lateral opening wedge
•Medial cuneiform medial opening wedge
