A system of surgery : theoretical and practical . t most with talipes varus, orordinary club-foot.

In congenital calcaneo-valgusthe heel is depressed through the contraction of the anterior tibial, and the toes pointedoutwardly from tension of the peronei. In non-congenital calcaneo-valgus thedepressed heel is due primarily to evident paralytic wasting of the calf-muscles. The foot deformities named respectively equino-varus and equino-valgus are bothnon-congenital, and offer other points of analogy, the chief of which is their de-pendence upon either spasmodic or paralytic contraction, as the case may be.
