This review looks at aetiology, examination techniques and severity scoring, and provides an overview of operative and non-operative methods of treatment.

“…The congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is one of the most common musculoskeletal malformations at birth, and the main malformations at birth can be divided into four parts: forefoot adduction, hindfoot varus, equinus, and cavus. [1][2][3] Delayed treatment of CTEV can eventually lead to significant disability and seriously affect the quality of life in adulthood, so early identification and treatment are keys to preventing later disability. At present, the development of ultrasonic examination technology has greatly improved the prenatal diagnosis rate of CTEV, and the detection rate of malformation is about 60%.…”
