Fifty cases operated for foot-drop during the years 1971-82 were called for follow-up. Out of fifty, twenty cases were reported to the hospital. Three cases among the twenty were found to have changes of tarsal disintegration. The changes were found more confined to the talo-navicular junction. X-ray changes both in non-weight and weight bearing were studied. Their line drawings (tracings from actual radiograph) are presented. It is concluded that due attention should be given to the pre-operative evaluation, operative procedure used and post-operative management particularly the weight-bearing and proper footwear.
1971年至1982年间接受足下垂手术的50例患者被要求进行随访。在这50例中，有20例到医院报到。这20例中有3例被发现有跗骨解体的变化。这些变化更多局限于距舟关节。研究了非负重和负重时的X线变化。展示了它们的线条图（根据实际X线片描绘）。得出的结论是，应特别关注术前评估、所采用的手术程序和术后管理，尤其是负重和合适的鞋具。
