[Deformities of the feet after Volkmann's ischemia in the lower limb (author's transl)].
The authors have observed 11 cases of Volkmann's ischemia in the lower limb. The main deformity was of equinus. 10 patients were operated on. In 8 cases, arthrolysis was performed with good results in 7 cases. In 2 cases an ankle arthrodesis was done with one good result and one secondary amputation. The surgical technique of the arthrolysis is described. In most of the cases, tendon lengthenings, capsulotomy and fixation with an external fixator was required. This device was tolerated and it is concluded that it is worthwhile in severe ischaemic syndrome and that arthrolysis is preferred to arthrodesis.
