Abstract
For the correction of the relapsed club foot, Evans' method was prefered. The results, after this procedure, were satisfactory. But the fusion of the calcaneocuboidal joint leads to a variable but inevitable loss of tarsal motion. Another problem is postoperative pseudoarthrosis of the calcaneocuboidal joint for four or five years old cases.
The disadvantages of Evans' operation have led us to try a new method. It preserves the calcaneocuboidal joint, it requires a abductive osteotomy of the calcaneal neck.
In selected instances, this has been a very helpful addition to the surgical method for club foot.
