    Author: Sengupta A.
    Journal: Int Orthop; 1987; 11(3):183-7. PubMed ID: 3623753.
    Abstract:
    Congenital Talipes Equinovarus often remains untreated in developing countries. At our Institute in Calcutta, where we have modern facilities, a programme was undertaken using simple techniques in selected cases. Since 1964, 5,312 cases of congenital talipes equinovarus were treated by percutaneous elongation of the Achilles tendon, plantar fasciotomy and corrective plasters. In 4,502 cases the results are good enough to recommend this technique, even in developed countries.
