Lower Limb Wasting, Pes Cavus and Clawing of Toes

Byepsuadmin August 19, 2014June 14, 2015

In this photo, there is apparent leg-length discrepancy and wasting of the lower limb muscles – the left side relatively more severe. Typical pes cavus (high-arched foot) are seen on both sides. Clawing of the toes can also be seen. This sign is postulated to be due to a different degree of wasting – the…
