PATHOANATOMY










             • Equinus deformity occurs primarily at the ankle joint.



             • Inversion deformity occurs primarily at the subtalar joint.


                 The inverted calcaneum takes the whole foot with it so


                 that the sole faces medially.



             • Forefoot adduction deformity occurs at the mid tarsal


                 joints mainly at talo navicular joint.



             • Forefoot cavus deformity is the result of exercise arching


                 of the foot at mid tarsal joints.
