Abstract
There is some evidence that the anterior tibial vascular tree is poorl y developed in children with club foot. We have found a significantly greater prevalence of absence of the dorsalis pedis pulse in the paren ts of such children. We also found significantly more tobacco smokers among the club-foot parents than in the control group.
