Removal of a wedge from the mesial inferior aspect of the astragalus, together with osteotomy of the neck of the astragalus, permitted correction of badly pronated feet, without arthrodesis of any joints, in at least three out of five cases.
Of course, conclusions cannot be drawn from such a small number of cases, but results have been sufficiently satisfactory to justify this preliminary report and to warrant continuing with the same technique in subsequent cases.
