Abstract

Four deformed feet in three patients were corrected completely using the new limited intervention technique of Ilizarov. One foot in the younger patient was corrected by soft tissue distraction only. In three feet in the older patients V osteotomies were needed to initiate the distraction. Two complications occurred: herpes simplex infected two of the osteotomy sites, which were treated successfully with local treatment. The detailed method and indications are outlined.

Abstract

In 50 patients (72 clubfeet), the posterior tibial tendon was excised during complete soft tissue clubfoot release. The end results after an average of 3 years were graded as follows: 55.5% excellent, 29.3% good, 8.3% fair, and 6.9% poor. Heel varus and forefoot adduction were the main causes for recurrence. Heel valgus occurred in one foot. Excision of the posterior tibial tendon is safe, does not lead to overcorrection, and may prevent further scarring created when the tendon is lengthened.
