580 The Limbs as a Whole. 



11. 31. Slight Degree of Talipes Varus.— Plaster of Pari& 



cast of a left foot, illustrating the above. 



There is a marked shortening and inversion of the foot.. 

 The sole has evidently been planted flat on the ground, and the 

 toes are straight, G. C, 3511. 



11. 32. Slight Degree of Talipes Varus.— Plaster of Paris 



cast of a left foot, illustrating the above. 



There is a marked inversion of the foot, and a slight' 

 raising of the inner side. G. C. 3512. 



11. 33. Talipes Equino-varus with Genu-Valgum.— Plaster 



cast of a right lower limb from a little above the kuee^ 

 illustrating the above. 



There is decided genu-valgum along with the talipes 

 equino-varus. The person has evidently walked on the fore- 

 part of the outer side of the foot, the heel, as well as the inner- 

 border of the foot, being drawn up. There is marked inver- 

 sion of the foot, and the head of the astragalus projects on the 

 outer side. G. C. 3513. 



11. 34. Talipes Varus. — Skeleton of a right foot — macerated,, 

 illustrating the above. 



The patient was a man aged 50, who had suffered from infantile 

 paralysis in childhood. The limb had been completely paralysed, and 

 The foot was so much in the way that he desired to have it amputated. 



The preparation shows that the cuboid and scaphoid bones 

 have been displaced inwards, leaving a portion of the articular 

 surfaces of the astragalus and os calcis exposed. These surfaces, 

 which formed a projection on the outer side of the foot, were 

 in the recent state covered with fibrous tissue. The bones are 

 light and fatty. G. C. 3315.
