Abstract
The technique of tarsal V-osteotomy for the treatment of pes cavus deformity that was described by L. E. Japas in 1968 was reviewed.
Our cases were poliomylitis 2 and cerebral palsy I, and their types of feet were anterior pes cavus deformity. Six weeks after operation, plaster cast was removed for roentogenographic examination. At this time, healing after V-osteotomy had occured and weightbearing was permitted. Cavus deformity of feet was almost completely corrected and did not show shortening of the length of feet as seen in the conventional operation.
Any complication was not been found.
