Abstract
I investigated the ankle stabilizing operations which had been done for forty-seven cases, forty-nine paralytic ankles in these three years in my clinic.
In conclusion, I prefere bone block operation for paralytic ankle with more or less function of plantar- or dorsi-flexors by poliomyelitis.
In view of stabilization, arthrodesis is more satisfactory than bone block.
Incongruenz of talocrular joint were noted in nine cases of forty bone blocks. It seems that backward displacement of foot by excision of talus or removal of scaphoid obtains more excellent results.
