The purpose of this article is to present a simplified technique to close the cleft in the feet of children affected with congenital clefts. This technique evolved after several frustrating attempts to close the cleft with mediocre results by using triangular flaps. This report concerns nine children with 15 feet. We describe a simplified technique for cleft closure to narrow the feet. One of the children had an associated syndactyly of the foot, and two others had syndactyly of the hands. No other associated anomalies were present in these children. We operated on seven patients with a total of 42 operations. The feet with the clefts that were repaired by rectangular flaps maintained good cosmesis and function.
本文的目的是介绍一种简化技术，用于闭合患有先天性足部裂的儿童足部的裂隙。该技术是在多次使用三角形皮瓣闭合裂隙但效果不佳而令人沮丧的尝试之后发展而来的。本报告涉及9名儿童的15只脚。我们描述了一种用于裂隙闭合以缩小足部的简化技术。其中一名儿童伴有足部并指畸形，另外两名儿童伴有手部并指畸形。这些儿童没有其他相关异常。我们对7名患者进行了总共42次手术。通过矩形皮瓣修复的有裂隙的足部保持了良好的美观和功能。
