[Linear scleroderma and foot deformity in children].
Linear scleroderma is a subtype of localized scleroderma generally observed in children, and may produce secondary bone and joint deformities. Its localization at the foot or ankle is rarely reported. A complete review of the literature reveals 21 cases of foot or ankle deformity due to linear scleroderma to which we add one case. The clinical and radiological aspects of the deformity, its pathogenesis, histological findings as well as orthopaedic management are presented and discussed.
