Author ProfileAbstract
Poliomyelitis is a viral infection that may lead to paralysis or death.
Paralysis can lead to skeletal and joint deformities. Typical
manifestations include equinos cavus and tibial shortening. We report a
polio case presented with right equinus foot, clawing in the right great
toe, and shortening in the right tibia.
