Relapsing club feet. Late results of delayed operation.

The operation of soft-tissue release and calcaneocuboid fusion, published by Dillwyn Evans in 1961, is described in detail and a long-term review of 118 club feet is presented. The average age of the patients at review was nearly seventeen years. All were resistant cases and in all the Dillwyn Evans "collateral operation", deliberately delayed by a policy of prolonged conservative treatment, had been the main surgical procedure.
