Neonatal operative treatment of club foot. A preliminary report



Download PDF

Abstract

A total of 67 patients with 94 resistant club feet were treated operatively as soon after birth as all other postnatal problems could be excluded, the mean age of the patients being 12 days. No treatment was attempted before operation. The results, after a follow-up period of a minimum of two years (mean 4.4 years) are comparable with the best published results. This method of treatment has many advantages but cannot be recommended for general use without reservations.
