PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR ATROPHY OF THE PERONEAL TYPE (CHARCOT-MARIE-TOOTH DISEASE)

Orthopaedic Management and End-Result Study

JULIAN E. JACOBS M.D.1 and CHALMERS R. CARR 1

Of eighty cases of hereditary peroneal palsy which have been studied, forty-five patients have undergone surgery for the correction or amelioration of the crippling foot deformity. On the basis of adequate follow-up observations, the surgical procedures outlined have been shown to improve the crippling condition. In spite of progressive muscle wasting, the rehabilitation can be maintained for many years.

In twenty-three feet, the operation gave less than satisfactory results. Sixty-six feet in which adequate surgery was performed have stood the test of time in an encouraging manner.
