Among the patients, there were 42 cases of left foot and 11 cases of right one. Fifty-one patients complicated with skin defect and sinus tract,only 2 patients complicated with skin defect. There were 48 patients with denervation caused by spina bifida, 5 patients by other causes.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The follow-up duration was from 1 to 12 years,the mean time was about 5 years.
