  • Title: The surgical treatment of equinovarus deformity in adults with spasticity.
    Author: Roper BA, Williams A, King JB.
    Journal: J Bone Joint Surg Br; 1978 Nov; 60-B(4):533-5. PubMed ID: 711804.
    Abstract:
    Adults with deformities of the lower limb due to spasticity may be considerably improved by operation, but thorough pre-operative assessment as an inpatient is essential in order to pinpoint the disability. The commonest deformity is equinovarus which often responds to simple operative procedures. The results of seventy-seven operative procedures in fifty patients are recorded. Correction once achieved is stable and the deformity does not recur.
