Abstract

We present the results of using a simple Ilizarov fixator frame in treatment of 66 feet in 52 patients (mean age 8.5 years) of 58 relapsed and eight neglected clubfeet with grade III or IV severity with a mean follow-up of 40 (26–58) months. Our frame, in spite of being simple and easy for surgeons and patients to handle, achieved satisfactory correction comparable to the literature.
