NAVICULO-CUNEIFORM FUSION IN THE TREATMENT OF FLAT FOOT

Ewen A. Jack 1

1 Edinburgh, Scotland

1. Radiological investigation of cases of flat foot shows that they form three distinct anatomical types according to the precise level of the break in the arch.

2. When the break occurs at the naviculo-cuneiform joint alone, fusion of this joint in normal alignment should correct the deformity.

3. The results of operation on forty-six feet are analysed. Eighty-two per cent proved satisfactory. Failures are discussed and are considered avoidable by careful selection and operative technique.
