The awareness of PTTD has increased because of the efforts of McGlamry and Mueller. The treatment for PTTD depends on the patient's age and weight, systemic factors, length of time of the disease course, and the extent of foot collapse. The period of time from injury to diagnosis often is delayed because of the gradual progression of the condition. The patient that presents with an acute injury often responds well to a soft-tissue procedure. The delay in treatment usually necessitates the performance of an osseous procedure to correct the deformity and align the foot. The talonavicular arthrodesis is indicated in the flexible flatfoot deformity when degenerative changes of the subtalar joint are not present. The talonavicular arthrodesis is effective for correcting the flexible flatfoot deformity because it reduces the forefoot abduction, increases the height of the arch, stabilizes the medial column, and prevents excessive subtalar joint pronation. The primary complications associated with the talonavicular arthrodesis are nonunions and development of arthritis in adjacent joints. The incidence of nonunion can be directly attributed to poor surgical technique and early weight bearing during the postoperative period. The degenerative changes that occur in adjacent joints are often present preoperatively because of the long-standing valgus deformity. The procedure effectively maintains the correction of the flatfoot over a long period of time, and allows the patient to return to a pain-free lifestyle. The talonavicular arthrodesis is the procedure of choice in the flexible flatfoot deformity because the procedure corrects the malalignment of the subtalar and midtarsal joints and prevents excessive subtalar joint pronation. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of pulsed electromagnetic fields in a consecutive series of 64 patients undergoing hindfoot arthrodesis (144 joints). All patients who underwent elective triple/subtalar arthrodesis were randomized into control and pulsed electromagnetic field study groups. Subjects in the study group had an external pulsed electromagnetic fields device applied over the cast for 12 hours a day. Radiographs were taken pre- and postoperatively until radiographic union occurred. A senior musculoskeletal radiologist, blinded to the treatment scheme, evaluated the radiographic parameters. The average time to radiographic union in the control group was 14.5 weeks in 33 primary subtalar arthrodeses. There were 4 nonunions. The study group consisted of 22 primary subtalar arthrodeses and 5 revisions. The average time to radiographic union was 12.9 weeks (P =.136). The average time to fusion of the talonavicular joint in the control group was 17.6 weeks in 19 primary procedures. In the pulsed electromagnetic fields group of 20 primary and 3 revision talonavicular arthrodeses, the average time to radiographic fusion was 12.2 weeks (P =.003). For the 21 calcaneocuboid arthrodeses in control group, the average time to radiographic fusion was 17.7 weeks; it was 13.1 weeks (P =.010) for the 19 fusions in the study group. This study suggests that, if all parameters are equal, the adjunctive use of a pulsed electromagnetic field in elective hindfoot arthrodesis may increase the rate and speed of radiographic union of these joints. 相似文献

In the longest-term follow-up study on triple arthrodesis published to date, Saltzman et al found at 44 years post-fusion, 95% of surviving patients were satisfied with their outcomes despite deteriorating function and some increase in pain with time [13]. All of the cases in this review were performed through a single anterolateral surgical approach and without internal fixation. In symptomatic severe or arthritic pes planovalgus or cavovarus deformity, few operative alternatives to triple arthrodesis are available. Attempts at subtalar resurfacing prostheses led to poor results and subsequent abandonment [46,47], whereas tendon transfer procedures and osteotomy realignments are not always possible or feasible in every patient. Although the indications for and surgical techniques used in triple arthrodesis have evolved and improved with time (predictably improving results in the intermediate term), triple arthrodesis remains a salvage procedure. Thus, deteriorating results with time may be an expected consequence and should not necessarily represent a failure of the technique. The surgical procedure is technically challenging and should be reserved for those surgeons trained and comfortable with all aspects of the surgery. Patient selection is vital, with most triple arthrodeses reserved for older patients. The two-incision approach allows better visualization, particularly of the talonavicular articulation, allowing for adequate resection of cartilage and alignment of the joints. Avoidance of excessive bony resection or wedge resection and the use of rigid internal fixation has increased the reliability of the procedure and diminished the pseudarthrosis rate and the rate of recurrence of the deformity. Failure to perform the procedure in an optimal fashion, however, can lead to a devastating failure with severe pain and dysfunction for the patient. 相似文献

Subtalar repositional arthrodesis for adult acquired flatfoot 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Stephens HM Walling AK Solmen JD Tankson CJ 《Clinical orthopaedics and related research》1999,(365):69-73
Arthrodesis of the subtalar joint is well recognized treatment option for moderate or severe flatfoot associated with adult acquired flatfoot secondary to posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. The success of the subtalar arthrodesis is dependent on restoration of normal bony relationships in the hindfoot and midfoot. For this reason, a distinction is made between a repositional arthrodesis and the traditional in situ type of arthrodesis. An in vitro study of the adult acquired flatfoot identifies an anteroposterior subluxation of the subtalar articulation that can be corrected durably and reliably through a repositional talocalcaneal arthrodesis. Intraoperative reduction techniques are useful in obtaining reduction of the peritalar subluxation. There are certain clinical features that help identify patients with flatfoot deformities who are good candidates for subtalar fusion. As the pathoanatomy of the flatfoot deformity is better elucidated, treatment techniques are modified to better address the key elements of the deformity. A repositional subtalar arthrodesis was shown to produce excellent correction in a moderate to severe in vitro flatfoot example in the authors' clinical series. 相似文献

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD) is a progressive disorder secondary to advanced degeneration of the posterior tibial tendon, leading to the abduction of the forefoot, valgus rotation of the hindfoot, and collapse of the medial longitudinal arch. Eventually, the disease becomes so advanced that it begins to affect the deltoid ligament over time. This attenuation and eventual tear of the deltoid ligament leads to valgus deformity of the ankle. Surgical correction of PTTD is performed to protect the ankle joint at all costs. Generally, this is performed using osteotomies of the calcaneus and repair or augmentation of the deltoid ligament. Unfortunately, there has been no universal procedure adapted by foot and ankle surgeons for repair or augmentation of the deltoid ligament. Articles have discussed the use of suture and suture anchors, suture tape, nonanatomic allograft repair, nonanatomic autograft repair with plantaris, peroneal and extensor halluces longus tendons to repair and augment the deltoid ligament. There is very little literature, however, in regard to using the posterior tibial tendon to augment the deltoid ligament in accordance with hindfoot fusion for end-stage PTTD deformity. In general, the posterior tibial tendon in triple and medial double arthrodesis is generally removed because it is thought to be a pain generator. This article presents a case study and novel technique using the posterior tibial tendon to augment and repair the laxity of the deltoid ligament in an advanced flatfoot deformity. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This study tested the hypotheses that fusing the subtalar joint with a single lag screw from the posteroinferior calcaneus to the anterior talar neck is an effective technique and that factors affecting the time to fusion can be identified. METHODS: Between October, 1995, and July, 2002, the senior author (RAM) performed 101 isolated subtalar arthrodeses using a technique of single lag-screw fixation from posteroinferior to anterosuperior across the posterior facet of the subtalar joint combined with the application of an autograft taken from the floor of the sinus tarsi and anterior process. The average patient age was 52 (range 17 to 82) years. There were 52 women (53 arthrodeses) and 48 men (48 arthrodeses). Eight of 101 (8%) arthrodeses were revisions. The indications included posttraumatic arthritis (45), posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (18), failed prior ankle joint fusion (14), idiopathic disorders (12), hindfoot coalition (7), rheumatoid arthritis (3), and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (2). Fifteen of 101 patients (15%) smoked an average of 0.9 +/- 0.5 pack of cigarettes per day. RESULTS: Two of 101 joints did not fuse, resulting in an overall fusion rate of 98%. The average time to fusion was 12.3 +/- 3.4 weeks. The presence of a prior ankle fusion significantly prolonged the time to fusion of the subtalar joint (11.9 +/- 2.3 vs. 14.9 +/- 7.0, p = .003). Other factors, including smoking, revision surgery, patient age, and patient sex, did not affect time to fusion. The fixation screw was removed in 13 of 101 (13%) joints at an average of 8.8 +/- 0.5 months. CONCLUSIONS: Using a single 7.0-mm lag screw across the posterior facet of the subtalar joint results in fusion of the subtalar joint in 98% of patients. A prior ankle arthrodesis delays the time to fusion of the subtalar joint by 3 weeks. This is a simple and reliable technique for achieving fusion of the subtalar joint. 相似文献

BackgroundTreatments of adult acquired flatfoot deformity in early stages (I–IIa–IIb) are focused on strengthening tendons, in isolation or combined with osteotomies, but in stage III, rigidity of foot deformity requires more restrictive procedures such as hindfoot joint arthrodesis. Few experimental studies have assessed the biomechanical effects of these treatments, because of the difficulty of measuring these parameters in cadavers. Our objective was to quantify the biomechanical stress caused by both isolated hindfoot arthrodesis and triple arthrodesis on the main tissues that support the plantar arch.MethodsAn innovative finite element model was used to evaluate some flatfoot scenarios treated with isolated hindfoot arthrodesis and triple arthrodesis.Results and conclusionsWhen arthrodeses are done in situ, talonavicular seems a good option, possible superior to subtalar and at least equivalent to triple. Calcaneocuboid arthrodesis reduces significantly both fascia plantar and spring ligament stresses but concentrates higher stresses around the fused joint. 相似文献

Primary subtalar arthritis is not common. In most cases, it is the late sequela of intra-articular calcaneal fracture. Subtalar arthrodesis is mostly used for the treatment of traumatic subtalar arthritis in our clinics. We have compared our early cases of in-situ subtalar fusion with our recent cases of fusion with sliding corrective osteotomy in this clinical report. From 1989 to 1992, 15 feet of 13 patients were treated with subtalar arthrodeses for subtalar arthritis caused by malunion of calcaneal fractures. Fusion in situ was done by Ollier's approach, and resection of bony protrusion was done if there was lateral entrapment syndrome. From 1992 to 1995, 13 feet of 12 patients also received subtalar arthrodeses to salvage their calcaneal fractures, but the subtalar fusion was done by wide lateral approach, calcaneal sliding corrective osteotomy, and sometimes (11 of 13 feet) with Achilles tendon lengthening to restore the calcaneal height and width. Patients of both groups experienced obvious clinical improvement in subtalar pain relief, but there was no difference with walking distance, running, or jumping. The group undergoing fusion with sliding corrective osteotomy was more satisfied with regard to cosmetic results and shoe wear. The overall satisfactory rate in the group who underwent fusion with sliding corrective osteotomy (92%) was superior to the group who underwent fusion in situ (77%). Though our method of sliding corrective osteotomy does not provide much improvement to the talus declination angle, it is suitable for those patients with a "banana"-shaped calcaneus malunion. If the patient has prominent anterior ankle pain caused by tibiotalar impingement, we believe that a distraction subtalar arthrodesis would be more appropriate. 相似文献

Subtalar joint (STJ) arthrodesis is a well-established and accepted surgical procedure utilized for the treatment of various hindfoot conditions including primary or posttraumatic subtalar osteoarthritis, hindfoot valgus deformity, hindfoot varus deformity, complex acute calcaneal fracture, symptomatic residual congenital deformity, tarsal coalition, and other conditions causing pain and deformity about the hindfoot. Union rates associated with isolated subtalar joint arthrodesis are generally thought to be favorable, though reports have varied significantly, with non-union rates ranging from 0 to 46%. Various fixation constructs have been recommended for STJ arthrodesis. The purpose of this study was to compare radiographic union in a 2-screw fixation technique to a 3-screw fixation technique for patients undergoing primary isolated STJ arthrodesis. To this end, we retrospectively reviewed 54 patients; 26 in the 2-screw group and 28 in the 3-screw group. We found the median time to radiographic union to be 9 weeks for the 2-screw cohort and 7 weeks for the 3-screw cohort. Additionally, we found that the 2-screw fixation cohort had a radiographic non-union rate of 26.9% while the 3-screw cohort had no non-unions. We conclude that the use of a 3-screw construct for isolated STJ arthrodesis has a lower non-union rate and time to union when compared to the traditional 2-screw construct and should be considered as a fixation option for STJ arthrodesis. 相似文献

Tibiotalar arthrodesis remains the gold standard reconstructive procedure for the treatment of disabling ankle arthritis. The purpose of this study was to review the clinical results of tibiotalar arthrodesis utilizing the chevron fusion technique. The results of 46 consecutive patients who underwent ankle arthrodesis utilizing the chevron technique were reviewed. The etiology of the tibiotalar arthritis was posttraumatic in 29 of 46 patients. Of the remaining 17 patients, seven had osteoarthritis, five had talar osteonecrosis, two had rheumatoid arthritis, one had hemophilic arthropathy, one had gouty arthropathy, and one had unrecognized chronic osteomyelitis. Three patients had prior hindfoot arthrodeses, and two patients had bilateral ankle fusions at last follow-up. All patients were followed for a minimum of 2 years. Of the 46 patients, 41 were available for review, with an average follow-up of 7.3 years (range, 2-20 years). Twelve patients had greater than 10-year follow-up. The Mazur ankle score was calculated for all 41 patients. The average Mazur ankle score for the 41 patients available for review was 72.8, out of a maximum possible score of 90. Eighteen patients had excellent results, 11 patients had good results, five patients had fair results, and seven patients had poor results. The most common reasons for fair or poor results were symptomatic subtalar arthritis and multiple medical comorbidities. All patients with postoperative symptomatic subtalar arthritis had preoperative radiographic evidence of subtalar arthrosis. Of the 12 patients with greater than 10-year follow-up, nine had excellent or good results, and an average Mazur ankle score of 76.6. All patients with either prior hindfoot arthrodeses or bilateral ankle fusions had excellent or good results. Of the 41 arthrodeses included in the study, 38 (38/41, 93%) went on to clinical and radiographic union. The chevron technique provides a predictable method to obtain fusion of the tibiotalar joint. Most patients can expect excellent or good results. In the current study, 90% (37/41) of patients were satisfied with the outcome of their surgery and would undergo the same operation again under similar circumstances. 相似文献

Triple arthrodesis is largely used to restore painful hindfoot deformity. However, the procedure has been connected to several postoperative complications. Therefore, an isolated fusion of the talonavicular and the subtalar joint through a single medial approach has gained popularity. This "diple" arthrodesis provides effective correction of deformities and reduces the risk of wound healing problems on the lateral side of the foot. 相似文献

The effects on subtalar contact and pressure following talonavicular and midtarsal joint arthrodesis. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Many clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of both isolated talonavicular and complete midtarsal joint arthrodesis as an alternative to triple arthrodesis. However, in many cases, controversy exists as to which procedure to utilize. Evidence of degenerative radiographic changes and stiffness of the subtalar joint have been reported postoperatively. A cadaveric study at two different loading values, utilizing low-range pressure film transducers and digital scanning, was performed to quantify articular contact effects on the subtalar joint following isolated talonavicular joint arthrodesis and complete midtarsal joint arthrodesis as compared to the intact specimen. Statistically significant differences were found at p < .05 in this study regarding maximum contact pressure and in location of the applied pressures. Results of this study suggest complete midtarsal joint arthrodesis may be favored over isolated talonavicular joint arthrodesis, especially in the setting of a flatfoot deformity. 相似文献

Twenty-three patients (twenty-seven feet) with either a primary or staged pantalar arthrodesis or a tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis were evaluated to determine their clinical status. The main indication for the operation was the presence of severe pain unresponsive to non-operative treatment. Fourteen feet (twelve patients) had a pantalar arthrodesis; a fusion of the ankle, subtalar, talonavicular and calcaneocuboid joints. Half the feet in this group had either a triple arthrodesis or an ankle fusion performed at an earlier time. The remaining seven feet had all joints fused during the same operation. Thirteen feet (eleven patients) had a tibiotalocalcaneal arthrodesis. Two of these feet had an ankle arthrodesis performed four and six years previously. The other eleven had the ankle and subtalar joints fused during the same operation. All patients were followed for a mean of fifty-five months (14 to 159 months) from the time of their final arthrodesis procedure. Overall, twenty-three of the twenty-seven feet achieved a solid arthrodesis of all joints operated upon. Four feet had a failure of fusion of only a single joint and all were in the pantalar group. The mean time to radiographic fusion was twenty-three weeks and resulted in a plantigrade foot with an average tibia-floor angle of 87 degrees. Complications occurred in ten feet (37%); of which there were three deep infections; two ankles and one subtalar joint. These arthrodeses procedures resulted in marked relief of the patients' preoperative pain, the main indication for performing the surgery. Postoperatively there was no pain in eleven feet, mild occasional pain in thirteen feet, and moderate pain in only three feet. However, when all parameters of our clinical rating scale were evaluated, only five patients had an excellent clinical result, nine were rated good, three were rated fair and six patients had a poor result. These operations must be considered to be salvage procedures. They are technically difficult to perform and major complications may occur. Pain relief appears to be the main indication for performing these operations, and may account for whatever improvement occurs in the patient's function. 相似文献

Depending upon initial treatment, between 2 and 30% of patients with a displaced intra-articular calcaneal fracture require
a secondary arthrodesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of subtalar versus triple arthrodesis on functional
outcome. A total of 33 patients with 37 secondary arthrodeses (17 subtalar and 20 triple) with a median follow-up of 116 months
were asked to complete questionnaires regarding disease-specific functional outcome (Maryland Foot Score, MFS), quality of
life (SF-36) and overall satisfaction with the treatment (Visual Analogue Scale, VAS). Patient groups were comparable considering
median age at fracture, initial treatment (conservative or operative), time to arthrodesis, median follow-up, and post-arthrodesis
radiographic angles. The MFS score was similar after subtalar versus triple arthrodesis (59 vs. 56 points; P = 0.79). No statistically significant difference was found for the SF-36 (84 vs. 83 points; P = 0.67) and the VAS (5 vs. 6; P = 0.21). Smoking was statistically significantly associated with a non-union (χ2 = 6.60, P = 0.017). The current study suggests that there is no significant difference in functional outcome between an in situ subtalar
or triple arthrodesis as a salvage technique for symptomatic arthrosis after an intra-articular calcaneal fracture. Smoking
is a risk factor for non-union. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The purposes of this retrospective study were to review the results of isolated subtalar arthrodesis in adults and to identify factors influencing the union rate. The hypotheses were that (1) the overall outcome is acceptable but is not as favorable as previously reported, (2) complication rates, especially the nonunion rate, are higher than previously reported, and (3) factors contributing to a less favorable union rate can be identified. METHODS: Between January 1988 and July 1995, 184 consecutive isolated subtalar arthrodeses were performed in 174 adults (115 men and fifty-nine women) whose average age was forty-three years (range, eighteen to seventy-nine years). Eighty patients (46 percent) were smokers. The indications for the procedure included posttraumatic arthritis after a fracture of the calcaneus (109 feet), a fracture of the talus (thirteen feet), or a subtalar dislocation (thirteen feet); primary subtalar arthritis (thirteen feet); failure of a previous subtalar arthrodesis (twenty-eight feet); and residual congenital deformity (eight feet). Rigid internal fixation with one or two screws was used for all feet. Bone graft was used in 145 feet; the types of graft material included cancellous autograft (ninety-four feet), structural autograft (twenty-nine feet), cancellous allograft (seventeen feet), and structural allograft (five feet). Bone graft was not used in the remaining thirty-nine feet. RESULTS: Clinical and radiographic follow-up examinations were performed for 148 (80 percent) of the 184 feet at an average of fifty-one months (range, twenty-four to 130 months) postoperatively. The average ankle-hindfoot score according to the modified scale of the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (maximum possible score, 94 points) improved from 24 points preoperatively to 70 points at follow-up. Thirty feet had clinical evidence of nonunion. The union rate was 84 percent (154 of 184) overall, 86 percent (134 of 156) after primary arthrodesis, and 71 percent (twenty of twenty-eight) after revision arthrodesis. The union rate was 92 percent (ninety-three of 101 feet) for nonsmokers and 73 percent (sixty-one of eighty-three feet) for smokers (p < 0.05). Intraoperative inspection revealed that 42 percent (seventy-eight) of the 184 feet had evidence of more than two millimeters of avascular bone at the subtalar joint; all thirty nonunions occurred in this group (p < 0.05). A nonunion occurred in three of the five feet that had been treated with structural allograft and in two of the six feet in which the subtalar arthrodesis had been performed adjacent to the site of a previous ankle arthrodesis. After elimination of the subgroups of feet in patients who smoked, those that had had a failure of a previous subtalar arthrodesis, those that had been treated with a structural graft, and those that had had the subtalar arthrodesis adjacent to the site of a previous ankle arthrodesis, the union rate improved to 96 percent (seventy-three of seventy-six). Complications other than nonunion included prominent hardware requiring screw removal (thirty-six of 184 feet; 20 percent), lateral impingement (fifteen of 148 feet; 10 percent), symptomatic valgus malalignment (five of 148 feet; 3 percent), symptomatic varus malalignment (four of 148 feet; 3 percent), and infection (five of 184 feet; 3 percent). CONCLUSIONS: To the best of our knowledge, the present study includes the largest reported series of isolated subtalar arthrodeses in adults. Our results suggest that the outcome following isolated subtalar arthrodesis is not as favorable as has been reported in previous studies. The rate of union was significantly diminished by smoking, the presence of more than two millimeters of avascular bone at the arthrodesis site, and the failure of a previous subtalar arthrodesis (p < 0.05 for all). Other factors that probably affect the union rate include the use of structural allograft and performance of the arthrodesis adjac 相似文献

Posterior tibial tendon insufficiency is the most common cause of acquired adult flatfoot deformity. Although the exact etiology of the disorder is still unknown, the condition has been classified, on the basis of clinical and radiographic findings, into four stages. In stage I, there is no notable clinical deformity; patients usually present with pain along the course of the tendon and evidence of local inflammatory changes. Stage II is characterized by a dynamic deformity of the hindfoot. Stage III involves a fixed deformity of the hindfoot and typically also a fixed forefoot supination deformity but no obvious evidence of ankle abnormality. In stage IV, ankle involvement is secondary to long-standing fixed hindfoot deformities. The initial treatment of patients in any stage should be nonoperative, with immobilization, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, and perhaps an orthotic device. Corticosteroid injections continue to be controversial. When nonoperative management fails, the treatment options consist of soft-tissue procedures alone or in combination with osteotomy or arthrodesis. Stage I insufficiency is generally treated with debridement and tenosynovectomy. Soft-tissue transfer does not appear to correct the underlying deformity in stage II disease; however, there is growing interest in joint-sparing operations that attempt to compensate for the underlying deformities with osteotomies or arthrodeses, supplemented with dynamic transfers to replace the insufficient posterior tibial tendon. Subtalar, double, or triple arthrodesis is the procedure of choice for stage III disease, frequently in conjunction with heel-cord lengthening. Tibiocalcaneal arthrodesis or pantalar arthrodesis is most commonly used to treat stage IV disease. 相似文献

Stage 3 adult acquired flatfoot occurs when chronic posterior tibial tendon insufficiency results in fixed hindfoot valgus or fixed forefoot abduction and supination. Nonoperative management results in limited success. Corrective fusion is the treatment of choice. Although a variety of arthrodeses have been employed, triple arthrodesis remains the gold standard. 相似文献

Subtalar arthrodesis is an effective treatment of the planovalgus deformity of posterior tibial tendon insufficiency that provides stable and reliable results with minimal complications. Disadvantages include the risk of symptomatic adjacent joint arthrosis at long-term follow-up and less clinical and radiographic correction of the deformity as compared with other reconstructive options, which may make the joint-preserving procedures more attractive for the primary treatment of patients with a flexible pes planovalgus deformity without subtalar pain. 相似文献

Forty extraarticular subtalar arthrodeses with internal fixation were performed in 26 patients with cerebral palsy who had a mobile, paralytic planovalgus deformity. We assessed the correction achieved and maintained by evaluating the clinical status, improvement in gait, correction of deformity, and foot stability. Union was achieved in a mean interval of 10 weeks with no instance of mechanical failure of the fixation screw. At a mean follow-up of 30 months, 38 feet (95%) were rated excellent or good and two were rated fair. The advantages of this technique of extraarticular subtalar arthrodesis warrant continued use of this procedure. 相似文献

Triple arthrodesis by inlay grafting--a method suitable for the undeformed or valgus foot. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A method of triple arthrodesis is described which involves inlay of the subtalar and midtarsal joints. It is applicable to the undeformed and valgus foot as is encountered in poliomyelitis, spasmodic flat foot, cerebral palsy and spina bifida. The operation was successful in controlling deformity and pain. The only significant complication was failure of fusion of the midtarsal joint which occurred in three of eighty-five feet (3-5%). 相似文献
