The authors have operated on 33 equinovarus feet, (14 patients) with various condition--myelomeningocele, arthrogryposis, club foot or dwarfism. The results were poor, only 11 being satisfactory. Some failures were due to incorrect tecunique. The authors describe the technique which they consider to be the best. This procedure appears to have its main indication in myelomeningocele and arthrogryposis when the feet are severely deformed and rigid.
