  • Title: Surgical options in the management of residual foot problems in poliomyelitis.
    Author: Dhillon MS, Sandhu HS.
    Journal: Foot Ankle Clin; 2000 Jun; 5(2):327-47. PubMed ID: 11232234.
    Abstract:
    Although poliomyelitis is not encountered in the Western countries, it is still endemic in the underdeveloped world. Because the foot commonly is involved, an understanding of the causative factors and the available options of treatment is essential before surgical intervention. It is important to note that inadequate or improper surgical procedures potentially can lead to more disability; a well-planned approach to the foot problem, after considering the patient as a whole and understanding the principles involved, is the best option.
