title: [Long-term results of posteromedial release for the treatment of congenital clubfoot].
abstract: The aim of this paper was to evaluate long-term results of posteromedial release in the treatment of congenital clubfoot in 46 patients (61 clubfeet) treated at the author's institution between 1979 and 1990. The average follow-up period was 15.7 years (from 20.4 to 10.1 years). The average age at the time of surgery was 12.3 months (from 5 to 48 months). The final evaluation based on Magone et al. criteria gave the following results: excellent in 17 feet (28%), good in 17 feet (28%), fair in 11 feet (18%) and poor in 16 feet (26%).
