title: [Treatment for recurrent clubfoot with the Ilizarov technique].
abstract: Jlizarov technique was used to treat 34 recurrent clubfeet in 31 children between 1993 and 1996. No additional surgery was done; various configurations of the distractor were employed. The age at the operation ranged from 2.5 to 14 years (mean 6.7) and mean follow-up was 22 months (range 9-31 months). Twenty-six results were rated good, 4 fair and 4 poor. The authors claim ilizarov method is contraindicated in cerebral palsy and meningomyelocele. The ideal arrangement of the distractor is hinge connection between all rings and semi-rings allowing for simultaneous correction of all components of the deformity.
