A case of congenital metatarsus varus from an autopsy of a newborn infant was explored. Contracture of the anterior tibialis muscle was present as well as alterations in size and shape of the first cuneiform bone. Furthermore, subluxations in the fore- and midfoot were observed, especially round the first cuneiform bone. It is concluded that congenital metatarsus varus may be classified as a subluxation followed by secondary bone changes and contractures in the soft tissues.Downloads
