title: [Flexion contracture of the upper ankle joint from its phlebologic aspects].
abstract: We report on talipes equinus as a consequence of chronical venous insufficiency, stage IV, and the therapeutic approaches. We describe in detail the autogenous mobilization of the proximal ankle joint. Regular measurements of the degree of ankylosis can objectify the findings, control the course of therapy, and motivate the patients.
