The ossific nuclei and the cartilage anlage of the talus and calcaneum

CB Howard and MK Benson

Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre, Oxford, England.

We studied the ossific nuclei on radiographs of the feet of three stillborn infants, two with club feet, relating the size, position and alignment of each nucleus to the cartilaginous talus or calcaneum in which it lay. Anteroposterior projections of the nucleus of the talus show deformity of that bone as well as subtalar malalignment. Lateral projections of the calcaneal nucleus may underestimate the degree of hindfoot equinus.
