Abstract
Poliomyelitis is a viral infection that may lead to paralysis or death. Paralysis can lead to skeletal and joint deformities. Typical manifestations include equinoscavus 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.
