Typical examples of any of these varieties oftalipes are rare, nearly always the deformity beinga combination of two forms. Thus equinus maybe combined with varus or with valgus, and thesame is true of calcaneus. In designating such adeformity, the names of the two component distor-tions are combined, the more important being al-ways placed first. Thus, when equinus and varusare united, it is styled equino-varus or varo-equi-nus, according as the equinus or varus is the more WHAT IS TALIPES? 21 prominent, and the same principle of nomenclatureis used for calcaneo-varas and valgus. In addition to the above-mentioned varieties, allof which may be congenital, there is another, tali-pes cavus, or plantaris, which, I think, is generallyacquired, sometimes as the result of previous exist-ing talipes of some other variety, or of some directinjury t
