Abstract:
Idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus has a reported prevalence of between 0.64 and 2.5 per thousand live births in the Scottish population. A retrospective study of neonates (n=162), who presented with idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus in Scotland over a 3 year period (1994-1996) revealed a seasonal increased incidence of the condition in neonates born in March and April. The probable aetiological factors for congenital talipes equinovarus are discussed.
