Equinus Deformity

Equinus deformity of the foot presents a great number of difficulties to ambulant patients with cerebral palsy. Non-operative treatment of the incorrectible - fixed equinus is not successful. Many procedures are applied to treat it operatively, so its not clear which procedure at what age is the most successful. The purpose of this manuscript is to clarify the issue. The results of four procedures are analyzed: aponeurectomy of m. gastrocnemius, Achilles tendon lengthening by z-plasty, a combination of these two procedures and sliding elongation of m. triceps surae. The analysis was based on 417 operations in 291 patients of the average age of 9 years (1-64). The average follow-up was 7 years. The assessment of the results was based on the visual evaluation of the gait, on pedoscope prints and on comparison of ankle movements before and after operation. The analysis shows that the best results were achieved by sliding elongation of m. triceps surae after the age of 7.

Summary Aim: The study was designed to evaluate the feasibility, results and safety of a very short period of compression after ambulatory phlebectomy. Patients, methods: From September to December 2006 we prospectively studied 49 subsequent patients who underwent ambulatory phlebectomy for branch varicose veins. Post-operatively the treated part of the leg was bandaged for forty-eight hours. Results: No major adverse events occurred. Although 46.9% of treated patients had visible haematomas two days post-operatively, after six weeks this was only visible in one patient. The results of this study show that the clinical outcome of ambulatory phlebectomy in combination with compression for forty-eight hours is at least equal to a conventional (longer) period of compression. Conclusion: Post-operative treatment can be safely reduced without the need of adjuvant compression hosiery. This will reduce patient discomfort after ambulatory phlebectomy without jeopardizing the clinical outcome.
