    Author: Villas C, Beguiristáin JL, Martínez E, Barrecheguren EG.

    Abstract:
    Thirty-seven patients (52 idiopathic clubfeet) were treated with Codivilla's technique between 1971 and 1985. Radiological measurements and clinical evaluation before and after surgery were performed; a correlation was carried out between these evaluations and personal satisfaction. The results were rated as follows: poor in 4 feet (7.7%), fair in 18 feet (34.6%), good in 24 feet (46.2%) and excellent in 6 feet (11.5%) with a total percentage of satisfactory results amounting to 57.7%. Our conclusion is that when the indications are properly established, Codivilla's technique is a good procedure to correct clubfoot.
