title: One-stage posteromedial release of congenital clubfoot.
abstract: Turco's one-stage posteromedial release with internal fixation has been performed in 51 children with a total of 73 congenital clubfeet since 1973. Thirty-one children (44 feet) followed for 4-12 years were evaluated using the McKay rating system. The occurrence of good and excellent results was 70%. The relationship between these results and angles measured from roentgenograms was analyzed using multiple regression. The results showed a closer relationship to the anteroposterior talocalcaneal angle, the tibiocalcaneal angle, and the MTR angle.
