Abstract

The conventional surgical treatment for deformed foot has always consisted of massive soft tissue releases combined with varying methods of osteotomies and fusions to plantigrade functional foot. But, the resulting feet have often been foreshortened, stiff, and nothing more than a cosmetically acceptable but functionally poor foot. Now the techniques of distraction histogenesis has been given a new tool to apply to the complex foot deformity. We have recently experienced two cases of severe deformed feet and treated with Ilizarov technique. One patient had postcompartmental severe rigid equinocavovarus foot. And the other had traumatic severe rigid metatarsus abductus. The follow up periods were 14 and 28 months respectively. The feet were aesthetically pleasing. So, we believed that the Jlizarov technique is an excellent treating method for severe deformed foot.
