Etymology

The term 'talipes' originates from Latin, where 'tali' means 'ankle' and 'pes' signifies 'foot'. The combination refers to a condition involving the foot and ankle. First used in medical terminology in the 18th century, it describes various foot deformities, though it primarily points to a specific condition causing the foot to be positioned improperly at birth. The understanding and treatment of talipes have evolved significantly over the years, transitioning from rudimentary methods to sophisticated medical interventions, ensuring better outcomes for infants diagnosed with this condition.
