To report the treatment outcomes of V osteotomy and Ilizarov technique for residual idiopathic or neurogenic clubfeet. Methods. 13 patients (14 feet) aged 8 to 18 years underwent V osteotomy via the calcaneus and talus, followed by gradual distraction of soft tissue and bone for foot reconstruction. Eight of the clubfeet were idiopathic and had undergone previous surgeries. The remaining 6 were neurogenic and their pathologies were: Charcot Marie Tooth disease (n=2), myelomeningocele (n=2), neurofibromatosis (n=1), and distal arthrogryposis (n=1). Three of them had undergone previous surgeries. The Ilizarov frames were retained for 3 to 6 months and the patients were followed up for 1.8 to 8.9 years. Range of movement of the ankle and foot, appearance and position, gait, pain, function, and patient satisfaction were assessed according to the modified grading system. The talo-1st metatarsal angle was measured on anteroposterior radiographs. Results. Scores associated with the appearance and position of the foot, and thus patient satisfaction were significantly improved, but not for range of movement, pain, and function. The mean preoperative and final talo-1st metatarsal angles were 39.7 and 8.7 degrees, respectively (p<0.01). Ten feet achieved the plantigrade position, one had residual equinus, and 3 had residual adduction and supination. Conclusion. satisfaction improved significantly despite no major improvement in pain, function, and range of movement of the ankle and foot. This reflects the importance of the appearance and position of the foot, and justifies the decision to undergo this long and demanding procedure. Key words: ; fixators, external; Ilizarov technique; osteotomy; recurrence INTRODUCTION It is a challenge to treat patients aged >8 years with residual after a series of failed surgeries.

Neurogenic clubfeet tend to recur after soft-tissue release because of muscle imbalance and pose functional and cosmetic problems. Callosities or pressure sores may develop on the lateral and dorsal parts of the foot after prolonged walking. Soft-tissue distraction is effective for patients aged <8 years, but may recur in older children. 1 4 The conventional triple arthrodesis involves removal of bony wedges and straightening of the foot, but tends to stiffen the joints below the ankle, shorten the foot, and arrest future growth of the small bones. This procedure s ability to correct the deformity is limited and further adjustment is not feasible. The Ilizarov technique of distraction osteogenesis 5 has been used to correct residual clubfeet with encouraging results. 1 4 Double osteotomy (V shape) via the calcaneus and talus followed by gradual distraction of the soft tissues and bones enables reshaping of the foot. Reorientation of the foot may correct the deformities, increase length, and preserve residual movement in the joints. We report our 9-year experience in the treatment of residual idiopathic or neurogenic clubfeet. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study was approved by our institutional review board. Between January 1998 and January 2005, 13 patients (14 feet) aged 8 to 18 years underwent V osteotomy via the calcaneus and talus, followed by gradual distraction of soft tissue and bone for reconstruction. Eight of the clubfeet were idiopathic (Fig. 1) and had undergone previous surgeries (one foot had had one operation, 3 had had 2, and 4 had had 3). The remaining 6 were neurogenic and their pathologies were: Charcot Marie Tooth disease (n=2), myelomeningocele (n=2), neurofibromatosis (n=1), and distal arthrogryposis (n=1, Fig. 2). Three of the patients had each undergone 2 previous surgeries. The Ilizarov frames were retained for 3 to 6 months and the patients followed up for 1.8 to 8.9 years (Table 1). Under tourniquet control, the posterior tibial neurovascular bundle was exposed via a medial

The peronei tendons were elevated from the calcaneus via a lateral approach, and the cuboid and talus were exposed. The hind foot and forefoot were separated from the middle stationary fragment using a V osteotomy. A wedge shaped piece of bone was removed from the lateral aspect of the osteotomy to prevent impingement of the bone fragments. The modular 2 ring Ilizarov frame was then attached to the tibia. The hindfoot and forefoot deformities were corrected gradually in relation to the stationary middle fragment by proper orientation of the distractors and hinges 5 (Fig. 3). The frame was kept until bony consolidation. A cast was applied for 4 to 6 weeks after frame removal, followed by rehabilitation. Preoperatively and at final follow-up, range of movement of the ankle and foot, appearance and position, gait, pain, function, and patient satisfaction were assessed using the modified outcome grading system, 6 with a best possible score of 150. The talo-1st metatarsal angle was measured on anteroposterior radiographs. Preoperative and final follow-up results were compared using the Wilcoxon signed rank test, with adjustment for ties. A p value of <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS There was no significant difference in the functional and radiographic results between patients with idiopathic or neurogenic defects. Scores associated with appearance and position of the foot, and thus patient satisfaction were significantly improved, but not for range of movement, pain, and function (Table 2). In the respective preoperative and final follow-up, mean scores of ankle dorsiflexion were 4.3 and 4.6 (p=0.317), subtalar motion were 2.1 and 0.7 (p=0.102), heel position were 0.0 and 6.4 (p=0.002), forefoot adduction were 0.0 and 6.8 (p=0.002), supination

After intensive physiotherapy had failed, the was corrected to the plantigrade position with reapplication of the Taylor spatial frame. Three patients had residual adduction and supination of the forefoot after frame removal, because the talonavicular joint (not the talar neck) was separated and bony stabilisation was not achieved. It is important that the V osteotomy is through the talar neck for bony consolidation. Seven patients developed toe s and underwent flexor tenotomies. In one, the toes were stabilised with Kirschner wires and

In the other 6 the foot was stabilised with a cast after frame removal. Four patients had dehiscence of the lateral surgical wound secondary to severe scarring and compromised blood supply. The wound dehiscence resolved after topical treatment with eusol and granuflex. 11 patients developed pin tract infection, which resolved with oral or intravenous antibiotics. 5 had necrosis of the great toe which resolved with eusol and granuflex. DISCUSSION The Ilizarov technique enables correction through soft-tissue distraction 1,7 9 or combination of softtissue distraction and bony manipulation. 2,3,10 Softtissue distraction is appropriate for feet with mild secondary bony changes and for younger patients. 5,11 Our patients were older and had scar and muscle imbalance around the foot secondary to previous surgeries. These feet had severe bony and joint changes, and soft-tissue distraction alone could have resulted in incongruent joints and recurrence. It is important to establish the vascular anatomy prior to distraction. This can be achieved using ultrasound Doppler scanning or angiography. Tarsal tunnel was routinely released to minimise the risk of vascular injury and the V osteotomy was performed via a lateral incision under direct vision. s report being satisfied with the appearance and plantigrade position of the foot, the ability to walk and to wear normal shoes. 1,4,7 They also attain a more balanced load on pedobarography. 12 The results from patient based responses are more favourable than clinical assessments by the surgeon. 13,14 Encouraging results are reported mainly from the cosmetic perspective and satisfaction, not function. 13,14 In our study, patient satisfaction improved significantly, despite no major improvement in range of movement of the ankle and foot, pain, and function. This reflects the importance of the appearance and position of the foot, and justifies the decision to undergo this long and demanding procedure. REFERENCES 1. Grill F, Franke J.
