[Results of surgical correction of congenital talipes equinovarus].
Different surgical procedures in the treatment of clubfoot were analyzed, especially in correlation to over-correction and inadequate correction. Indications for surgery, surgical errors and their influence on outcome were assessed. 82 children (28 females and 54 males) with 130 congenital equinovarus underwent surgery between 1988 and 1994. Age at the time of operation ranged from 6 to 13 months (average: 9 months). Posterior release (i.e. partial subtalar release) was conducted in 68 cases of clubfeet and complete subtalar release in 62 cases. During follow-up 44 children with 64 clubfeet were reviewed. Magone's criteria were used to assess final results. 15 (23%) feet showed very good results, 26 (41%)--good results, 14 (22%)--satisfactory and 9 (14%)--poor or no correction.
