Ultrasound is the investigation of choice. Half the cases may be associated with other congenital anomalies like spina bifida, trisomy 13, trisomy 18 and several other conditions. 50% of cases may have isolated congenital talipastalipes equinovarus deformity. No fetal karyotyping is advisable in cases with isolated club foot3.
Updates to Study Attributes
The bilateral club foot visible inon ultrasound images and videos. Both feet are medially rotated and appear in the same plane as the tibia and fibula. In normal feet, the sole of the feet should be perpendicular to the long axis of the leg. Both feet also show fanning of the toes. Moreover, the relationship between feet and legs remained constant on several occasions ruling out transient and false positive positional club foot. The fetus had multiple congenital anomalies, including open spina bifida, meningomyelocele in the thoracic region and double vessel cord.
