Conservative therapy is often inadequate and surgical management controversial.
Current surgical trends are to reposition and stabilize the foot without immobilizing the joints of the subtalar complex. This classification system is not comprehensive, therefore difficult to use in the decision-making process as regards surgical management. For example, the gradual acquisition of a rigid foot undergoes several stages of its own which are not captured by the present classification system. A more detailed classification system entailing the severity of soft tissue contractures and the location and severity of the radiographic deformity is required. This study would be clinical in nature with an emphasis on a thorough physical and radiographic assessment, quantification of the clinical morbidity and pedobarographic analysis.
