Abstract
1. Further consideration has been given to the lateral rotation which occurs at the ankle joint in uncorrected club feet.
2. Medial rotation osteotomy of the tibia may be used to restore more normal alignment to the hind foot at the expense of an increase in varus of the forefoot, which must be corrected at a second operation.
3. The early results in seven feet treated in this manner are reported.
4. We hope that this paper will be regarded more as a contribution to the understanding of the anatomy of uncorrected club foot than as advocacy of a new method of surgical treatment.
