Although deforming contractures of the lower extremities after acute cerebrovascular events are well documented in the literature, there is limited literature regarding specific surgical considerations for the correction of these deformities, which are nonosseus in nature. The equinovarus foot, regardless of its origin, is a challenging pathologic condition for the foot and ankle surgeon. It is critical to have a firm understanding of the cause and symptoms behind an equinovarus deformity before treatment. The clinical presentation is discussed with special attention to deformities in adults with rigid equinovarus deformities after cerebrovascular-related accidents or peripheral ischemic events.

Effectiveness of congenital myelodysplastic clubfoot treatment by the Ponseti method-Systematic review.
PLoS One
October 2024
Pediatric Orthopaedics and Reconstruction Group, Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Instituto de Assistência Médica ao Servidor Público Estadual (IAMSPE) São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil.
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.*
Novel variant associated with neurodevelopmental disorder with cerebellar atrophy and seizure: Case report and a literature review.
Epilepsy Behav Rep
July 2024
Department of Medical Genetics, Faculty of Medicine, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
The gene plays a crucial role in RNA metabolism and brain development, and mutations in this gene have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders. The variability in the clinical presentation of -related disorders is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders. This study aimed to identify a causative variant in an Iranian patient affected by developmental delay, speech delay, seizure, and clubfoot through whole exome sequencing (WES) followed by Sanger sequencing.

Article Synopsis
- Clubfoot is a common congenital condition characterized by a rigid inward and downward foot position, with its causes remaining largely unclear despite some known genetic factors.
- Researchers analyzed exome sequence data from 1190 cases of non-syndromic clubfoot along with their family members, focusing on uncovering rare genetic variants associated with the condition across different ethnicities.
- The study identified rare variants in 29 genes linked to clubfoot cases, including previously unrecognized genes, and revealed that a small percentage of cases had variants associated with known diseases, expanding the understanding of the genetic basis of clubfoot.
Simple Talectomy is a Beneficial Surgical Procedure for Talipes Equinovarus and Other Severe Neuromuscular Foot Deformities.

Danish Paediatric Orthopaedic Research, Aarhus University Hospital (AUH), Aarhus N, Denmark; Department of Children's Orthopaedics, Aarhus University Hospital (AUH), Aarhus N, Denmark.
Noninvasive techniques are gold standard to redress Severe Neuromuscular Foot Deformity (SNFD). However, simple talectomy may be considered to obtain a stable, plantigrade, pain-free foot. We present a 10-year follow-up accessing radiological correction rates, functional outcomes, complications, and patient satisfaction.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to track the correction of individual components of Pirani scoring system (PSS) over the manipulation and tenotomy phase of Ponseti casting method in idiopathic clubfoot. Additionally, non-zero PSS scores were analysed to find out the residual deformities.
Methods: The included feet were assessed initially according to the six component PSS.
