Skewfoot

Foot Ankle Clin. 2009 Sep;14(3):409-34. doi: 10.1016/j.fcl.2009.06.003.

Abstract

Skewfoot is a rare deformity characterized by forefoot adduction and hindfoot valgus. Its etiology and natural history are unknown, although congenital and syndromic forms are observed. Currently, there is no consent about the treatment of skewfoot. Due to its potential resistance to the effects of therapy, it must be differentiated from other, more common deformities. Treatment involves conservative and, most often, operative measures.
