Assessment of Ilizarov correction of club-foot deformity using pedobarography. A preliminary report.
Relapsed congenital talipes equinovarus is difficult to assess and treat. Pedobarography provides dynamic measurement of the pressures under the foot, and may be used in the assessment of these patients both before and after operation. Our findings showed a statistically significant difference in the distribution of pressure across the foot after treatment by the Ilizarov technique.
