先天性内反足に対する Medial Release Operation の経験

抄録

We followed up six cases of resistant or recurrent congenital club foot, corrected by medial release operation, (Mc Cauley's method).
Period for following up varied from two years and one month to nine months after operation. The eldest patient at operation was eight years and the youngest two years and four months of age. Correction in a plaster boot should be completed just postoperatively or within one to two weeks after operation. Operative elongation of tendo achillis was performed six weeks after the first operation in cases of incomplete correction of equinus deformity. Simultaneous elongation of Achilles tendon by medial release operatien should be indicated in cases of high grade equinus deformity.
