The pathological anatomy of skew foot at the tarsometatarsal region, radiologic aspects, spontaneous course of the deformity, and indication for conservative or surgical treatment are discussed in detail. For preschool- and school-age combined osteotomies of the medial cuneiform bone and the proximal metatarsal region of the second to fifth ray proved to be a safe and effective option. In milder cases of serpentine foot, the hindfoot complex often has not to be addressed seperately; however, severe eversion deformity requires additional hindfoot stabilization. |
