There are two types of CTEV: postural and structural

Postural CTEV is when there is muscle imbalance and / or tightness. There is usually no bone or joint involvement. In Structural CTEV there is involvement of the bone and joints of the foot.

 The cause of this condition is unknown but thought to be related to the baby position in the womb.

 The anatomical deformities in CTEV are many: equinus of the heel, varus and cavus of the midfoot, and adductus and supination of the forefoot

 The bones chiefly deformed are the talus, calcaneus, navicular and cuboid

Treatment
A. Serial casting The casts are changed weekly at first, then biweekly and triweekly. This closed treatment of clubfeet has a five to 10 per cent chance of success. This is only in the mild cases. (Tachdijian) The process, however, does serve to elongate the contracted soft tissues and skin in preparation for possible later surgical correction.
