In 56 patients (70 feet) with talipes equinocavovarus, various components of deformity were surgically corrected in multiple stages with the aid of a hinged-distraction apparatus and concurrent training and rehabilitation of motion in the ankle joint. Good results were obtained in 53 feet, satisfactory results in 13 feet, and unsatisfactory results in four feet. The complications brought on by apparatus-assisted therapy of talipes equinocavovarus deformities require additional treatment but do not depreciate the method.

Talocalcaneonavicular Realignment: The Foundation for Comprehensive Reconstruction of Severe, Resistant Neurologic Cavovarus, and Equinocavovarus Foot Deformities in Children and Adolescents.

Introduction: The progression of neurologic cavovarus (NCV) and equinocavovarus (NECV) foot deformities during growth can eventually lead to non-reducible severe talonavicular (TN) and subtalar (ST) joint rotational malalignments. This study aimed to describe a technique to correct severe, resistant inversion deformity of the ST joint complex as the foundational procedure in comprehensive reconstruction of multi-segmental NCV and NECV deformities in pediatric patients and to analyze mid-term radiologic, functional, and satisfaction outcomes.
Methods: This prospective study included children with severe NCV and NECV foot deformities who underwent TCNR between 2019 and 2022, with a minimum follow-up of 2 years.

Article Synopsis
- The incidence of equinocavovarus feet in children with myelomeningocele ranges from 25-36%, with treatment often requiring extensive surgeries that result in rigid feet but better alignment.* -
- A systematic review across multiple databases assessed the effectiveness of the Ponseti method for treating myelodysplastic feet, finding an initial success rate of 93%, but reported high recurrence (62%) and complication rates (29%).* -
- The study suggests that while the Ponseti method is effective initially, longer follow-up is necessary to monitor recurrences, and using a foot abduction brace can help prevent these recurrences.*
Stepwise surgical approach to equinocavovarus in patients with cerebral palsy.

This study investigated the radiologic results of a stepwise surgical approach to equinocavovarus in 24 patients with cerebral palsy and determined the extent to which each procedure affected radiographic parameters using a linear mixed model. The anteroposterior talus-first metatarsal and anteroposterior talonavicular coverage angles were improved. The calcaneal pitch angle, tibiocalcaneal angle, lateral talus-first metatarsal angle, and naviculocuboid overlap were also improved.

One-stage surgical correction of severe equinocavovarus deformity can result in complications ranging from skin necrosis to tibial nerve palsy. Fewer complications have been reported when severe deformities were treated by gradual correction using external frames such as the Ilizarov external fixator or the Taylor Spatial Frame™. We describe a case of a 64-year-old female patient with severe poliomyelitic equinocavovarus whose deformity required her to ambulate using the dorsum of her right foot as a weightbearing surface.

Complex multiplanar ankle/foot deformity as equinocavovarus is a common problem in patients with spastic cerebral palsy hemiparesis. The data from 30 consecutive patients (30 feet), treated between March 2009 and March 2010, with equinocavovarus and toe clawing secondary to spastic cerebral palsy hemiparesis, aged 16 to 18 years, were analyzed clinically and radiographically. All the patients had received conservative physiotherapy treatment and ankle/foot orthoses before undergoing combined soft tissue and bony surgical procedures performed in a single session to correct the complex toe clawing, cavus, varus, and equinus deformities.
