After triple fusion with preservation of the ankle joint there was a striking absence of late osteoarthritis of the ankle, and only a low incidence of troublesome lateral instability of the ankle. The results were generally good provided the patient had reasonable power of extension of the knee. 3. Triple arthrodesis for completely flail

Forty-two previously asymptomatic patients presenting with a recent rupture of the lateral ligament of the ankle, and twenty similar patients with a simple sprain of this ligament, have been followed for one year.

We studied 24 children (40 feet) to demonstrate that a physiotherapist-delivered Ponseti service is as successful as a medically-led programme in obtaining correction of an idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus deformity. The median Pirani score at the start of treatment was 5.5 (mean 4.75; 2 to 6). A Pirani score of ≥5 predicted the need for tenotomy (p <
0.01). Of the 40 feet studied, 39 (97.5%) achieved correction of deformity. The remaining
