| Abstract: | The author shows the importance of the development of the leg axis for the diagnosis and the indication for the treatment of the acquired infantile pes plano-valgus and pes planus. Only when this development is finished an operative therapy can be indicated. The experience gained on a very treat number ofpatients shows that it is evident that the best method is the transposition of the tendons M. fib. III or IV. The author also discusses the reasons for indication and the limitation of this operation. (The author prefers the modified techniques of K. Niederecker (1959) based on the idea of E. Müller (1903). |
