Abstract

Major foot deformities were analyzed using standardized radiographic drawings of the foot in weight-bearing. Specific criteria and a classification of foot deformities by radiographic analysis are presented, utilizing "lining systems" related to the main bones of the hindfoot. The radiographic appearance of the foot is described and analyzed, as are the principal deformities such as varus and valgus heel and forefoot. The prefixes "talipes" and "pes" were used to signify congenital and acquired deformities, respectively. Specific foot deformities, including talipes-equinovarus (clubfoot), pes-pianovalgus (flatfoot), pes-cavus and metatarsus-varus, are analyzed. This method can also be applied in the radiological analysis of any foot deformity.
