A Perspective Focus on the Indicated Surgical Treatment of Resistant Clubfoot in the Infant

Authors: JAMES L. LeNOIR MD

Abstract

ABSTRACTLigamentous contracture is the chief factor in maintaining clubfoot deformity. Precise plans of segmental ligamentous release are called “selective segmental syndesmotomies.” Critical segmental assessment by roentgenograms is required to choose the proper syndesmotomy. Proper early correction of resistant subtalar and midtarsal deformity by selective segmental syndesmotomy can solve much of the persistent trouble confronting the surgeon.
