Abstract: | A fixed-ankle, below-the-knee molded plastic splint designed to maintain the ankle in 5 degrees of dorsiflexion and correct any foot deformity was used on eighteen extremities of twelve children with spastic cerebral palsy and genu recurvatum. After an average follow-up of twenty-six months, the genu recurvatum was well controlled and gait was improved. |
