Surgery in residual clubfoot: one-stage medioposterior release "à la carte".
A series of 142 clubfeet in 113 children were treated by a one-stage medioposterior release for deformity persisting after vigorous physical therapy. The talonavicular joint and hindfoot are released to achieve correct alignment. Long-term good results were seen in 73% of the entire series and in 87% of the idiopathic subgroup.
