Abstract

Seven adult males with rigid, severe equinovarus deformities underwent single-stage corrective surgery. The procedure included extensive soft tissue release, talectomy and tibiocalcaneal, calcaneocuboid, and tibionavicular fusion. All seven patients fused successfully at an average of 3.5 months with a plantigrade foot. All feet were stiff and had an average of 3.5 cm limb length discrepancy. All of the patients were satisfied with the surgery and would choose to have the procedure again. This small series represents one method of achieving a plantigrade foot in patients with severe, rigid equinovarus deformities.
