“…From the age at which standing and walking begin, extensive peritalar or pantalar arthrolyses are required for complete anatomic correction of relapsed or neglected clubfeet [23]. However, these arthrolyses are successful only in patients between the ages of 8 and 10 years.…”

Background Treatment of relapsed clubfoot after soft tissue release in children is difficult because of the high recurrence rate and related complications. Even though the Ilizarov method is used for soft tissue distraction, there is a high incidence of recurrence after removal of the Ilizarov frame owing to previous contracture of soft tissue and a skin scar. Questions/Purposes We asked (1) whether transfixation of midfoot joints by temporary K wires during the consolidation stage after short-term application of an Ilizarov frame would maintain correction of the relapsed clubfoot clinicoradiologically and (2) whether this method would reduce the rate of recurrence and related complications in patients with a skin scar from previous surgery.

“…Both nonoperative methods of manipulation [3][4][5] and extensive soft-tissue releases [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] have been advocated. Early methods of manipulation, such as the Kite technique 3 , demonstrated inconsistent results, leading to unpredictable outcomes after extended periods of casting.…”

“…Não encontramos relação entre o ângulo talocalcaneano nas incidências em AP e P com os resultados, o que também foi observado em outros registros (4,7,14,(21)(22)(23) ; entretanto, esses ân-gulos mostraram-se bastante importantes para alguns autores (1)(2)18) . Joseph et al (22) (7) , introdutores do índice talocalcaneano, encontraram correlação entre os bons resultados e valores entre 40 o e 60 o .…”

“…Autores mostraram a importância da posição do navicular em relação à porção cefálica do tálus, tanto na incidência em AP como em P (11,14,16,21,(23)(24)(25)(26) . Recentemente, foi estudada a importância da fixação ou não da articulação talonavicular, mostrando não haver diferença entre os resultados dos grupos fixados e os não fixados (27) .…”
