Abstract
1. A method of correcting poliomyelitic lateral rotation deformity of the thigh by transplant of one or more of the hamstring muscles to the femur is described.
2. The results in seven cases are recorded.
3. Though it is emphasised that this is no more than a preliminary communication and the number of patients so treated is small, the satisfactory results suggest that the procedure is mechanically and physiologically sound.
