Tarsal angles, together with statistical significance, in the two series of clubfeet and in normal feet measured at the CT scan examination

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°)
