Data of roentgenograms in 86 patients enabled the authors to make a conclusion that an early cause of recurrent club foot is the delayed formation of nuclei of ossification of the navicular and I sphenoid bones, the later cause of the recurrent deformity is early synostosis of the epiphysis of the metatarsal bone. The importance of dispensary observation ad prophylactic measures after the treatment of congenital club foot is emphasized.
