Condition in which the hind foot turns inward; usually associated with clubfoot.
Abnormally turned in. Varus is an adjective used to describe a deformity in which a hand or foot is turned in toward the center of the body, such as bowlegs or a type of clubfoot. The opposite of varus is valgus.
Describing any deformity that displaces the hand or foot toward the midline.
A term meaning inward displacement of a part of the body for example, the knee (genu varum) or the ankle (talipes varus).
Angled or turned inward, used especially of deformities in which the most distal part of the anatomy is turned toward the body’s midline. There are many varus conditions. In coxa vara, the shaft of the femur turns inward with respect to the neck of the femur. In genu varum, either the femur or tibia turns inward at the knee, causing a knock-kneed deformity. Talipes varus is a clubfooted condition in which the heel turns inward and the person walks on the outer border of the foot.
