Update on pathologic anatomy of clubfoot.

Serial histological sections in three planes (frontal, sagittal, and transverse) in four cases of clubfoot in fetuses aborted at 16-20 weeks were studied and compared to identical sections obtained in three normal feet. The talus was deformed, with its neck medially angulated and its head dome shaped. The body of the calcaneus was medially bowed and was tilted and rotated medially underneath the talus, and both the talus and the calcaneum were in plantar flexion. The tilting of the talus and the medial tilting and rotation of the calcaneus accounted for the varus deformity of the hindfoot. The varus and adduction deformity of the heel and midfoot caused the supination seen in clubfoot. The skeletal components of the forefoot were adducted as a result of the medial displacement of the navicular and cuboid. Ligamentous and tendon abnormalities were also observed with increased fibrosis of muscle tissue, which may be an important factor in causation of clubfoot.

Ossification processes and perichondral ossification groove of Ranvier: a morphological study in developing human calcaneus and talus.

In this histologic-radiologic investigation of 32 feet of 16 fetuses and newborns ranging in age from 15 to 44 weeks, two types of ossification, i.e., endochondral ossification through primary ossification center and intramembraneous ossification through periosteal bone formation (PBF), were found to coexist in both calcaneus and talus. In addition, Ranvier's grooves (RG), or perichondral ossification groove, also was observed as a shallow, saucer-like or semicircular structure. As with PBFs, there are three and two RGs in the calcaneus and talus, respectively. RG and PBF appeared in time order and were located regularly in the concave areas of the adult calcaneus and talus. The findings support the hypothesis that one function of PBF and RG is to limit the growth of the calcaneus and talus. Thus, they are responsible for the irregular contour of the calcaneus and talus.
