Excerpt from A Lecture on Loxarthrus, or Club-Foot

The term club or twisted foot, is applied to every case in which the foot rests upon the ground, on any other portion than its sole! From this definition it would seem that an almost endless variety of the deformity might exist. The observations of those who have devoted much time to the study of this subject, however, have shown that but three distinct species, each of which presents several varieties, are to be met with.

In the First. The foot rests upon its outer edge, and is directed inwards. This constitutes what the ancients termed Varus!

In the Second. The foot rests upon its inner margin, or a portion of it, and is directed outward. This was named by the older authorities Valgus!

In the Third. The heel is drawn up, and the foot rests either upon the extremities of the toes, or its edges just above them, or upon its ball. This defect, from its fancied resemblance to the foot of the horse, has been called "Pes Equinus, or horse foot!"

Each of these classes includes three or four varieties, the characteristics of which depend upon the degree of deviation of the foot from a normal condition, and will be pointed out to you, after we have considered the causes of club foot in general.

Causes.

Club foot may exist before birth, or it may be occasioned by causes operating subsequently! To the first we apply the term congenital; the second is called accidental or acquired!
