Neurologic Disorders Affecting the Foot and Ankle
The neurologic causes of foot and leg dysfunction are reviewed. Disorders causing foot and ankle pain, weakness, or other sensorimotor disturbances often cause difficulty with ambulation and prompt patients to seek medical evaluation. Physical signs and symptoms along with targeted diagnostic testing are needed to come to the correct diagnosis and treatment plan. An overview of peripheral nerve, muscle, and central nervous system disorders affecting the foot and leg are discussed. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)

Clubfoot
or talipes equinovarus deformity is one of the most common anomalies affecting the lower extremities. This review provides an update on the outcomes of various treatment options used to correct clubfoot. The ultimate goal in the treatment of clubfoot is to obtain a fully functional and pain-free foot and maintain a long-term correction. The Ponseti method is now considered the gold standard of treatment for primary clubfoot. Relapse is common after primary treatment with the Ponseti method, and other interventions are discussed that are used to provide for long-term successful outcomes.

Surgical Management of Foot and Ankle Deformities in Cerebral Palsy
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) are at a high risk of developing foot and ankle deformities that can impact function, brace/shoe fit, and seating. The 3 commonly observed foot and ankle segmental malalignment patterns include equinus, planovalgus, and equinovarus. Assessment of foot deformities is multifaceted, requiring the collection and integration of data from a combination of sources that include the clinical history, standardized physical examination, observational and quantitative gait analysis, GMFCS classification, and radiographic findings. Surgical procedures are determined by identifying all segmental malalig...

Assessment of Pediatric Limb Length Inequality
Limb length inequality or discrepancy (LLD) occurs when there is a difference in length between 2 limbs or when deviation exists from a normally expected length for a given age. The magnitude of the discrepancy is defined as the difference between the 2 extremities. Aside from congenital etiologies, LLD can also arise from infection, paralysis, tumors/neoplasm, and surgery. Approximately 70% to 90% of the world ’s population has some elements of LLD with compensation allowing for tolerance and potentially masking the extent to which one limb could be significantly shorter either functionally or structurally. Components o...

Pediatric Osteochondritis Dissecans of the Talus
OCDs of the ankle are the third most common lesion in the body and a physician should include this in the differential while evaluating the pediatric population with the history of injury and/or pain in the ankle. Pain, stiffness, and swelling are the most common presenting complaints about the pediatric and adolescent patients with an OCD. Conservative treatment options should be attempted before attempting surgical intervention. Multiple surgical procedures exist to manage the lesion based on location, size, and other factors.

Gradual Correction of Pediatric Equinus Deformity
Pediatric equinus is broadly defined as generalized limited dorsiflexion at the ankle joint. It may result from either congenital or acquired causes and exhibit varying characteristics such as flexible, rigid, or spastic types. It has been extensively studied in literature and is known to be associated with the pathological condition of the bone, soft tissue, or combined deformity. In children, rigid plantarflexed cases can be debilitating and prevent them from ambulating without pain, if at all. As this volume in Clinics has chapters on comprehensive pediatric examination and neuromuscular disorders, this article will foc...

Foreword
The topic of Pediatric Orthopedics has never been covered in Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery. Why not? Although the profession has been treating pediatric patients from the very beginning, the subspecialty of Podopediatric Medicine is gaining more excitement over the past decade. Within Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery, there have been two publications in the past: Pediatric Foot Deformities, which came out in 2013, and Pediatric Pes Planovalgus, which came out in 2010. There have been several societies focused on the dissemination of podopediatric education. (Source: Clinics in Podiatric Medicine and Surgery)
