![]() | Figure 1(A) Photograph of a 4 year and 4 month old boy showing internal rotation of the left lower leg when both patellae were kept forward in the sitting position (case no. 51). He had undergone cast corrections using the Ponseti technique 6 times for his left clubfoot (Dimeglio grade IV) beginning 2 weeks after birth. He subsequently underwent posteromedial release at the age of 11 months due to recurrence of the deformity even with continuous physical therapy (foot and heel stretching) and long- and short-leg club foot braces. (B) Standing anteroposterior and (C, D) lateral radiographs of the both feet (C: left, D: right) show mild residual forefoot varus deformity and reduced talar tilt angle on the left foot compared to the right. He underwent posterior release, including Achilles tendon lengthening, (E) closed wedge osteotomy of the cuboid and open wedge osteotomy of the medial cuneiform, total transfer of the tibialis anterior tendon to the cuboid, and (F) distal tibiofibular external rotation (20°) osteotomy. After surgery, the foot deformities improved. The toe-in gait was improved. (G) Standing anteroposterior and (H, I) lateral radiographs of both feet (H: left, I: right) taken when the patient was 18 years old. He does not have any problems in daily living activities. His only complaint was dull foot and ankle pain after playing soccer. The American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores were 88 (ankle-hind foot) and 88 (midfoot). |
