Absent posterior tibial artery in an infant with talipes equinovarus


Kitziger-K. Wilkins-K. University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio. J-Pediatr-Orthop. 1991 Nov-Dec. 11(6). P 777-8. We report the absence of the posterior tibial artery in a 3-month-old patient with idiopathic clubfoot. Although anomalies of the anterior tibial artery are common, complete absence of the posterior tibial artery associated with talipes equinovarus deformity has not been reported. Author-abstract.
