Orthopaedic management of spina bifida—part II: Foot and ankle deformities

Abstract: Both congenital and acquired orthopaedic deformities are common in patients with spina bifida. Examples of congenital deformities, which are present at birth, include clubfoot and vertical talus. Acquired developmental deformities are related to the level of neurologic involvement and include calcaneus and cavovarus. Orthopaedic deformities may also result from postoperative tethered cord syndrome. The previously published Part I reviewed the overall orthopaedic care of a patient with spina bifida, with a focu… Show more

“…We consider that these phenotypes are most likely to arise as secondary consequences of a failure of vertebral formation, rather than a direct consequence of loss of HES7 function, because Hes7 null mouse embryos lack any overt neural tube defects. Myelomeningocele usually occurs in association with vertebral malformation [Ferrari et al, ], Chiari II may result from a leakage of cerebrospinal fluid into the intrauterine environment [Juranek and Salman, ], and talipes is commonly associated with spina bifida [Swaroop and Dias, ]. Such phenotypes have not been associated with any of the other three genetically diagnosed subtypes of autosomal recessive SCD, thus the presence of a neural tube phenotype in combination with multiple contiguous SDV may prove to be a useful diagnostic indication for HES7 sequencing.…”

“…Even in non-ambulatory patients, treatment might be necessary if the foot deformity prevents the wearing of a shoe or positioning in a wheelchair. 62 These functional aspects could explain the distribution of surgeries on feet in our cohort across all spinal levels. Because the development of foot deformities in patients with lower neurological levels can threaten ambulatory ability in some patients, 7 the persistence of a similar absolute frequency of these surgeries at those spinal levels before and after 9 years of age might have been the results of attempts to conserve gait.…”
