  • Title: The management of dropfoot using the Lambrinudi arthrodesis.
    Author: Parsons SW, Bell MJ, Sharrard WJ, Duckworth T.
    Journal: Z Kinderchir; 1988 Dec; 43 Suppl 2():38-9. PubMed ID: 3213250.
    Abstract:
    The results of 12 Lambrinudi arthrodeses in 10 patients with spinal dysraphism were compared with 11 operations performed in patients with only motor nerve deficits performed over the same 10 year period. The early failure and complications were more common in these patients and the tendency to recurrence of dropfoot occurred earlier. Despite this, the operation was effective in the management of these patients, especially for the improvement of co-existent sores or the fitting of shoewear.
