Variable | Torsion angle of ankle | Talar body-neck angle | Calcaneocuboid angle |
---|---|---|---|
Congenital clubfeet of the first series (Marino-Zuco technique) | 29.9° (22.4°–37.5°) | 30.3° (23°–37.6°) | 7.7° (–9.1°–24.6°) |
Congenital clubfeet of the second series (Ponseti technique) | 23.7° (16.2°–31.2°) | 22.9° (14.8°–31.8°) | 2.5° (–14.9°–19.3°) |
Normal feet | 21.4° (13.9°–29°) | 17.8° (12.3°–23.3°) | 13.8° (6.2°–21.5°) |
