[Video] Together We Can Eradicate Club Foot
Newmarket, England, farrier and researcher Simon Curtis reminds that club foot is the result of an unresolved flexural deformity affecting the distal interphalangeal joint. The combined myotendinous unit causes a positive rotation in the distal phalanx and leads to a deformity to the hoof capsule.
Club foot in maturity is untreatable, although it may be mitigated by skillful farriery. In this presentation, he stresses that early recognition and treatment of the flexural deformity successfully eradicates club foot.
