Definitions
- the invention relates to orthopedic shoes designed for correcting malformations and malpositions of the feet of infants from the first days of life.
- talipes calcaneus talipes valgus, talipes varus, pes adductus
- talipes calcaneovalgus talipes calcaneovarus
- talipes equinovarus metatarsus varus
- pes cavus congenital convex pes valgus, etc.
- Sequelae of clubfoot are also encountered frequently after the first corrective treatments.
- orthopedic and therapeutic methods and techniques are currently used to reduce these deformities by the first days after birth. They include elastic adhesive bandages, so-called Finck bandages, plaster casts, .[.splits.]. .Iadd.splints.Iaddend., materials that can be formed by the application of heat, and, during the consolidation treatment, various types of orthopedic shoes such as shoes for correcting pes adductus, so-called American sandals, and ankle boots for correcting talipes varus.
- the existing orthopedic shoes such as American sandals, ankle boots for talipes varus and pes adductus
- the existing orthopedic shoes such as American sandals, ankle boots for talipes varus and pes adductus
- the existing orthopedic shoes are applicable for only a simple type of malformation, whereas most of the time the malformation is of a combined type with variable degrees of deviations in several directions.
- the anti-adductor ankle boot described in French Pat. No. 2 467 560 is comprised of two separate parts corresponding respectively to the hindfoot and the forefoot, articulated around a common vertical axis and can be used effectively only on simple pes adductus, since the two parts can pivot in relation to each other only in a horizontal plane.
- the present invention seeks to free itself of the inadequacies of the state of the art that have just been mentioned by proposing an orthopedic shoe that can be put on rapidly and makes it possible to correct the different types of malformations that can be encountered, simple or combined in several directions, without resorting to other materials.
- FIG. 1 represents, in perspective and generally, a shoe to which the invention is applied
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of two half-soles corresponding to the shoe in FIG. 1,
- FIG. 3 is a partial longitudinal section illustrating the first form of embodiment of the connection between the aforementioned half-soles pursuant to the invention
- FIGS. 4a and 4b are a longitudinal section and a view from below, respectively, showing a second form of embodiment of the invention.
- FIGS. 5A, B, C, D, E, F and G show a number of classic malformations that the invention can correct.
- FIGS. 6A, 6B and 7 represent respectively a clubfoot seen from the rear, an application of the invention for its correction, also seen from the rear, and a side view.
- FIG. 1 we see foot 1 of an infant wearing an orthopedic .[.show.]. .Iadd.shoe .Iaddend.to which the invention can be applied and whose essential elements which are not visible are described further on.
- the shoe includes two distinct separate parts.
- a posterior part 2 made up conventionally of a rigid ankle cuff 3 mounted on a posterior half-sole 4 with a tongue 5 and a tying strap 6 serves to hold the hindfoot firmly and comfortably.
- An anterior part 7 that serves to hold the forefoot has two lateral flaps with a tying strap 9 mounted on an anterior half-sole 10.
- the two half-soles 4 and 10 constitute two distinct elements separated by a gap or clearance 11. This clearance 11 allows a relative displacement, at least to some extent, of the two parts 2 and 7 without overlap of the half-soles 4 and 10.
- FIG. 2 shows a plan view of a possible form and the relative arrangement of the two half-soles 4, 10 in an ideal position for a foot that has no deviation from the mid-vertical plane.
- the half-soles 4, 10 essentially include a rigid core 41, 101, preferably made of brass or aluminum, whose upper surface is covered by a lining, for example cemented, adequate for purposes of comfort 42, 102, as we see in a sectional view in FIG. 3.
- the method for correcting a malformation of the foot consists in placing the two parts, anterior 7 and posterior 2, in a relative position that will encounter the malformation, and then immobilizing the two parts 2, 7, in this position.
- This correction must be made gradually and progressively in space and time to restore a normal anatomical and physiological situation, and therefore the degree of the relative displacements of the two parts, anterior 7 and posterior 2, must be able to be varied at will by the practitioner, at least within a certain range.
- the aim is to correct not only malformations in relation to the vertical plane (pes adductus for example) but also deviations from the horizontal plane and combined malformations, which are therefore oblique in relation to these two planes at the same time.
- each half-sole, 4, 10, or rather its core 41, 101 is firmly connected, for example by means of screw 12, with a metal organ, 13 and 14 respectively, cooperating with a connecting piece 15 in the form of a single rod to secure the two half-soles 4, 10 to each other.
- These organs 13, 14 can be partially buried in the corresponding half-soles 4, 10.
- extremity 16 of rod 15 cooperating with part 13 of the posterior portion 2 of the shoe can be moved in a recess 17 in a longitudinal movement of translation and stopped in position, for example by a screw 18, in a way which itself is known.
- the rod or connecting part 15 has a spherical part 19 cooperating with a corresponding spherical cup formed partly in part 14 and partly in a block 20 which may tighten more or less tightly against sphere 19 through a logitudinal screw device 21 housed in part 14.
- a ball-and-socket that permits, at least to some extent, any rotational displacement of half-sole 10 around the center of sphere 19, a displacement that can be analyzed into its three components of rotation around the vertical axis, the normal horizontal axis to rod 15, and the axis of rod 15.
- this half-sole 10 has three degrees of freedom in relation to half-sole 4.
- Screw 21 acts as a brake on these displacements to help the practitioner achieve a correct positioning and then serves to block the unit in the adjustment position that is obtained, without ever having any deformation of rod 15.
- each extremity of connecting rod 15 has a spherical part cooperating with a spherical cup formed in each metallic part 13 and 14 respectively.
- the braking and blocking design through the previously described longitudinal axis block could be applied here, but, as represented, it appears more advantageous to define the spherical cups in terms of two half-shells, 131, 132 and 141, 142 respectively, the first one being integral with core 41, 101 of the corresponding half-sole 4, 10 in the same manner as previously, and the second 132, 142 being fastened to the first one by means of at least one screw 22 whose degree of tightening, by pushing the shells 131, 132 and 141, 142 on spheres 19, will make it possible to brake the relative displacements of each half-sole around the center of the sphere 19 concerned and to block the unit in the desired position.
- This design with three degrees of freedom for each extremity of rod 15 gives greater flexibility in the search for the correction position best suited for the particular case, and still without de
- clearance 11 can be adjusted with a single rod 15 so that it will correspond to the right shoe size in the particular case.
- this adjustment can be made by means of rods 15 of different lengths, this part being easily interchangeable.
- a suitable covering can mask the greater part of the device under the shoe, and even all of it following the adjustment if it is removable.
- FIG. 5 shows a number of classic malformations in the case of a right foot which the device according to the invention makes it possible to correct, and the angle of deviation may be as high as about 20° in each direction.
- A we have an opening of the foot (outward), in B a closing of the foot (inward), in C a lowering of the forefoot, in D a raising of the forefoot, and in E, F and G a foot whose position is, respectively, horizontal, inclined to the right, and inclined to the left.
- Positions A and B can be done in position E or can be achieved simultaneously with C and D and/or F and G as a result of the three degrees of freedom available. These different positions are always in relation to a fixed reference point.
- a device can be provided among the organs of the joint which is not directly accessible to the practitioner and will render the different parts inseparable in case of a clumsy move with excessive unlocking, which will prevent them from being scattered. Any design known in the art may be used for this purpose.
- FIGS. 6A, 6B and 7 illustrate very schematically the treatment of a clubfoot (FIG. 6A) by adding to the previous shoe a connecting part 15' similar to part 15 (slightly longer), secured respectively to the heel of the shoe and to a collar 23, made for example of leather, enclosing the leg of the subject below and above the knee.
- Extremities 19 of connecting part 15' may be identical in terms of their form and their adjustable attachment with the heel and collar 23 to extremities 16 and 19 of part 15 described previously.
