Prevalence of valgus and varus foot deformities in 2784 children with cerebral palsy, a register-based cross-sectional study
Most children with CP have a coronal plane foot deformity. Valgus is most commonly associated with higher GMFCS levels and lower age. These findings contribute to a mapping of the children with an increased risk of foot deformities and also highlight the need for continuous follow-up of foot deformities in children with CP.
