Abstract

It has been found possible and simple to obtain marked overcorrection of all the deformities of club feet by the use of continuous slight traction by means of elastic bands. Since this method has been followed, it has not been necessary, in children up to the age of five years, to use forcible manipulations, ether, tenotomies, or stretching by frequently changed plaster casts or adhesive plaster.
