An operative procedure has been devised to increase the size of the calf of the leg. This method may be valuable in patients who have thin, spindly legs or disparity of leg size due to previous poliomyelitis infection. The first series of patients on whom the procedure has been carried out, and the complications encountered, are discussed. I wish to emphasize that this is a new procedure and that the best implant has not yet been found.
已设计出一种手术方法来增大小腿围度。对于腿部纤细、呈纺锤状或因既往感染小儿麻痹症导致双腿尺寸不一的患者,该方法可能具有重要价值。文中讨论了首批接受该手术的患者以及所遇到的并发症。我想强调的是,这是一种新方法,目前尚未找到最佳植入物。
