Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, St. Louis Missouri.
Severe hypertension occurred as a postoperative complication after
correction of a club-foot deformity in four children (seven feet) who were
between the ages of two and three years and had no history of hypertension.
The hypertension subsided slowly after administration of antihypertensive
medications or more rapidly after release of the correction that had been
obtained operatively.
