Abstract
Fixed equinovarus deformity in cerebral palsy requires bone procedures for surgical correction. We reported the outcome of surgical procedure establishing the approach to multiple osteotomy and fusion to this problem. Retrospectively, 55 feet were reviewed. Step of surgical evaluation were applied to all patients by addressing each component of equinovarus deformity. 31 feet achieved correction by multiple osteotomy. Overall 78% had good outcome and maintained plantigrade foot. This study had outlined a simple surgical step-approached procedure to address fixed equinovarus deformity in cerebral palsy with high success rates. We recommended multiple bone osteotomy to preserve joint motion.
