Treatment of valgus foot by Batchelor-Grice subtalar arthrodesis

ABSTRACT

Several techniques were used to overcome the problems of the Grice technique in treating valgus foot. We used a combined Batchelor-Grice pocedures to arthrodese 36 valgus foot after poliomyelitis in children. The results were satisfactory in 31 of the 36 feets. The satisfactory results necessitate good fibular graft, with preservation of the periosteal tube and prolonged immobilization in above knee plaster for 12 weeks
