title: [Surgical treatment for cleft foot].
abstract: The methods and results of treatment of 13 cleft foot in 8 patients are presented. An approximating dexon-polyester suture has been used in Blauth I deformity. Joplin procedure (resection of the intermediate cuneiform) has been done in grade III deformities. If hallux valgus coexisted an arthrodesis of interphalangeal joint has been performed. Family history of hand and foot deformity in one case might prove genetic theory of autosomal dominant inheritance. At follow-up examination mean 11 years after surgery satisfactory cosmetics, efficient gait and standard shoes fitting were found.
