A review of 77 neonates who presented with congenital talipes equinovarus over a seven-year period revealed an increase in the condition amongst babies born in the winter quarter. This finding was particularly apparent among the less severe cases of club-foot. Possible reasons for this seasonal variation are discussed. Author-abstract.
