The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential use of ultrasound in the preoperative assessment of clubfoot and follow-up growth. We first studied 50 normal newborns and infants (aged 1 day to 1 year). The normal values established were reliable, dynamic and reproducible measurements allowing the assessment of osteo-articular relationships and cartilage morphology. Ultrasound appears to be more useful than radiography because it allows delineation of cartilaginous structures (which are not visible on conventional radiographs) and dynamic study of foot positions, and has no danger from radiation. A future paper will contain preliminary results of cases of clubfoot studied by ultrasound.
本研究的目的是评估超声在先天性马蹄内翻足术前评估及后续生长情况跟踪中的潜在应用价值。我们首先对50名正常新生儿及婴儿（年龄从1天至1岁）进行了研究。所确立的正常值为可靠、动态且可重复的测量结果，能够用于评估骨-关节关系及软骨形态。超声似乎比X线摄影更具优势，因为它能够描绘出软骨结构（在传统X线片上不可见），并对足部位置进行动态研究，且不存在辐射危害。未来的一篇论文将包含超声研究先天性马蹄内翻足病例的初步结果。
