"T valgus" gcide "The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48"

Talipes \Tal"i*pes\, n. [NL., fr. L. talus an ankle + pes,
   pedis, a foot; cf. L. talipedare to be weak in the feet,
   properly, to walk on the ankles.] (Surg.)

         T. valgus, in which the foot is bent outward; T. equinus, in which the sole faces backward and the
         patient walks upon the balls of the toes; and T. calcaneus (called also talus), in which the sole
         faces forward and the patient walks upon the heel.
