[Treatment of Post-traumatic Deformities of the Foot.]

The authors evaluate their results of corrective surgery of the foot in conditions after injury. In 1965 - 1985 they used classical resection "sub talo" in 22 patients with 14 good, 4 satisfactory and 4 poor results. Poor results were recorded where arthritis of the talocrural joint, necrosis of the talus, pseudoarthrosis, residual deformity or instability developed. The authors evaluate also 5 patients treated by a new technique (so-called dowel graft technique). In all patients satisfactory results were achieved. In osteotomies of the tarsus they achieved a better cosmetic effect after operation when using Japase's method. Arthrodesis of Lisfrank's joint eliminates pain of the foot. In post-traumatic deformities of the metatarsal bones Helal's osteotomy is equally successful as in treatment of static pes transversoplanus. Key words: post-traumatic deformities of the foot, arthrodesis, osteotomy.
