The purpose of this study was to examine the outcome of treatment of clubfeet distal to a lower extremity constriction band. Eighteen patients with 21 clubfeet distal to a lower extremity constriction band were treated during the years 1946 to 1992. Three types of bands (I to III) were defined. Three grades of feet (A to C), based on the severity of the deformity, were recognized. After treatment, the feet were classified as good, fair, or poor. At follow-up, six of 18 feet were classified as good, six as fair, and nine as poor. These results were correlated with the type of band and the grade of the foot. A grade A foot associated with type III band had the best result.
本研究的目的是检查下肢束带远端畸形足的治疗结果。在1946年至1992年期间，对18例患有21只下肢束带远端畸形足的患者进行了治疗。定义了三种类型的束带（I至III型）。根据畸形的严重程度，识别出三种足部等级（A至C级）。治疗后，足部被分类为优、良或差。随访时，18只足中6只被分类为优，6只良，9只差。这些结果与束带类型和足部等级相关。与III型束带相关的A级足部结果最佳。
