Hey Nailah,

Great post. This one for sure confused me a bit on what was actually abnormal. I know the sonographic image will show a rocker bottom foot but I didn't fully understand why it would look that way. However, you explained it very well. I thought this image was a good representation of how the talus is misplaced and the other bones are shifted closely to the talus.

Hey Allison, 

 This is great image! You can really see how since the talus didn't form properly it caused the calcaneus to tilt up more, giving the foot a more rounded appearance. This is awesome! Thanks for sharing
