Congenital talipes equinovarus (ctev) occurs in approximately 1.2 per thousand live births in the UK. The prevalence is less in Orientals (0.6 per thousand), and higher in Hawaiians (6.8 per thousand) and in East Africans. The aetiology is still obscure, but Ruth Wynne-Davies' view has yet to be challenged, that there is a genetic component with an environmental trigger. There is no recognisable pattern of inheritance, but if one child in a family is affected, the risk that a second will have ctev is 1 in 35.
先天性马蹄内翻足（CTEV）在英国每千例活产儿中的发生率约为1.2例。在东方人中发生率较低（每千例0.6例），而在夏威夷人（每千例6.8例）和东非人中发生率较高。病因仍不明确，但露丝·韦恩 - 戴维斯的观点尚未受到质疑，即存在遗传因素并由环境触发。不存在可识别的遗传模式，但如果一个家庭中的一个孩子患病，第二个孩子患CTEV的风险为三十五分之一。
