In all congenital and developmental deformities and most malformations of the child's foot, there are at least two segmental deformities that are often in rotationally opposite directions from each other, "as if the foot was wrung out"; BASIC PRINCIPLE #6: One must understand subtalar joint positions and motions in a manner that supersedes the confusing and inconsistent terminology in the literatureBASIC PRINCIPLE #7: A thorough and working knowledge of the biomechanics of the foot, and of the subtalar joint complex in particular, is mandatory for assessment and management of foot deformities in childrenBASIC PRINCIPLE #8: In the normal foot, the overall shape is determined by the shapes and interrelationships of the bones, coupled with the strength and flexibility of the ligaments. Muscles maintain balance, accommodate the foot to uneven terrain, protect the ligaments from unusual stresses, and propel the body forwardBASIC PRINCIPLE #9: The default position of the subtalar joint is valgus evertedBASIC PRINCIPLE #10: Valgus deformity of the hindfoot can be thought of as representing a continuumBASIC PRINCIPLE #11: Cavus means hollow, empty, or excavated and is manifest in the foot by plantar flexion of the forefoot on the hindfoot. The plantar flexion may be along the medial column of the foot or across the entire midfoot. The subtalar joint may be in varus, neutral, or valgus. The ankle joint may be in plantar flexion (equinus), neutral, or dorsiflexion calcaneus). And there may be a combination of these deformitiesBASIC PRINCIPLE #12: The foot deformity may be the primary problem or the result of the primary problem, i.e., a neuromuscular disorder. Differentiation is importantBASIC PRINCIPLE #13: Be accurate with terminology"This book will combine principles of assessing foot disorders and deformities and treatment with practical suggestions"--Provided by publisher.FootAbnormalitiesFootSurgeryPediatric orthopedicsFootAbnormalities.FootSurgery.Pediatric orthopedics.617.5/85Mosca Vincent S.1620031MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910812939903321Principles and management of pediatric foot and ankle deformities and malformations3952582UNINA
