A REBALANCING OPERATION FOR PRONATED FEET

WILLIAM ARTHUR CLARK A.M., M.D., F.A.C.S.

Out of five cases operated upon, a good result was obtained in three cases, another case being too early after operation for final judgment, but promising well so far.

Removal of a wedge from the mesial inferior aspect of the astragalus, together with osteotomy of the neck of the astragalus, permitted correction of badly pronated feet, without arthrodesis of any joints, in at least three out of five cases.

Of course, conclusions cannot be drawn from such a small number of cases, but results have been sufficiently satisfactory to justify this preliminary report and to warrant continuing with the same technique in subsequent cases.
