Abstract

History and Philosophy of Specific Fields

Anglo Saxon

talo-calcaneal

A recently excavated skeleton from an Anglo-Saxon burial ground in Kent exhibits a pathological right heel. The disorder is identified as a congenital talo-calcaneal bridge, a genetic anomaly which often results in "peroneal spastic flat foot". This 1,300-year-old specimen is presently the oldest reported for this disorder.
