ABSTRACT
31 patients suffering from cerebral palsy [CP] with 36 deformed feet, were surgically treated by triple arthrodesis. The period of follow up ranged from 6.4 to 14.8 years. There were 80.5% satisfactory results [no residual pain, no pseudarthrosis, no callosities, no joint degeneration and no residual deformity], while only 19.5% were unsatisfactory due to residual pain, moderate deformity, single callosity, multiple callosities, and difficulty in walking. No degenerative changes were recorded in the talocrural and tarsometatarsal joints
