For many years, I have been presenting my research on Rothbarts Foot and the PreClinical Clubfoot Deformity (in Europe, termed Progressive collapsing foot deformity). I have linked the etiology of these two genetic foot aberrations to the failed completion of the ontogenetic torsion of the talar head (for RFS) and the failed completion of the ontogenetic torsion of the posterior aspect of the calcaneus (PCFD). To put it mildly, my research was not well received on this forum.

Fast forward 20 years. My research is now being validated by research teams across Europe. A paper recently published in Archives of Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery, using 3d radiographs, they linked PCFD to higher torsional values within the talar neck - exactly what I have theorized since 2002.
