Abstract:
Radiologic assessment of foot deformities in young children is limited especially by the ossification status. Ultrasonography proved to be a useful diagnostic supplement e.g. in idiopathic talipes equinovarus, vertical talus, and tarsal coalitions. Effects of treatment and three-dimensional movements of the tarsal joint complex can be delineated. Sonographic assessment of tarsal alignment is applicable already in the first months of life. This study deals with first experiences in clinical application of this new diagnostic technique.
