In our clinic, 56 feet of congenital clubfoot on 36 patients have been treated during 1962-1972.
The operative method are classified to 3 classes with the lapse of time.
1) Lengthening or tenotomy of Achilles tendon. 27 feet (19 cases)
2) Lengthening of Achilles tendon and posterior capsulotomy. 16 feet (9 cases)
3) 2) procedure + lengthening of M. tibialis posterior, M flexor hallucis longus and M. flexor digitorum longus. 13 feet (8 cases)
After investigation of these cases some problems in operative treatment are clarified.
As a main factor of recurrence in congenital clubfoot, inverting muscle like M. tibialis posterior, M. flexor hallucis longus and M. flexor digitorum longus are very important.
