Abstract
We applied the Ilizarov technique and apparatus to the correction of 2 4 severe foot deformities in 21 children. We were able to achieve a se rviceable plantigrade foot in all cases, with nine feet achieving an e xcellent result, 12 achieving a good result, three being fair, and non e poor. Ilizarov's technique and apparatus offer an excellent adjunct for treating carefully selected severe foot deformities in children.
