CORRECT


The correct answer is:

FALSE:

These feet may have a great variety of deformities including plano-valgus, calcaneo-valgus, vertical tali, and tarsal and metatarsal synostosis, are all seen in patients with lumbosacral agenesis. There is no need to start immediate treatment because the child is not likely to walk on these feet and some time of observation and discussion is better in the face of the multiple deformities.
