The incorrect position of the foot in talipes equinus is common in the framework of prolonged confinement to bed in a patient in deep sedation. In the context of severe burns, this incorrect position is difficult to prevent and its fixation by cutaneous shrinkage, which is often associated with a musculotendinous fibrosis, constitutes an important functional after-effect. The onset of talipes equinus is insidious and progressive, and it is therefore important to be watchful both in detection and in prevention. Regular photographic assessment makes it possible to predict its appearance and to take appropriate preventive or curative action.
