  • Title: Anatomical basis for congenital deformities of the lower extremities. Part II. The knee and leg.
    Author: McCarthy DJ.
    Journal: J Am Podiatr Med Assoc; 1993 Mar; 83(3):130-8. PubMed ID: 8468694.
    Abstract:
    The congenital etiology of many malformations of the lower extremities is undisputed. This study uses cryomicrotomy of the knees and legs of midterm fetuses to establish the best anatomical representations of lower extremity parts, as they are developing, in a partially microscopic form. Adequate treatment plans of congenital defects require a knowledge of the normal status of development, and this investigation provides these data in a unique way. A comprehensive review of current therapeutic philosophies is related to morphology, which is discussed in light of the various congenital abnormalities of the knee and leg.
