Calcaneus deformity in the ambulant patient with myelomeningocele.
We reviewed our experience of tibialis anterior transfer and anterior release for calcaneus deformity in 46 feet of 26 ambulant patients with myelomeningocele. At an average follow-up of 8.4 years (2 to 17.6) there were 89% who had satisfactory results; 64% of the patients having tibialis anterior transfers were able to stand on their toes. Hip abductor power was a good predictor of a functiona...

متن کاملThe natural history of hip deformity in myelomeningocele.
We studied 1061 children with myelomeningocele, reviewing 3184 pelvic radiographs from 802 patients. Hip dislocation had occurred by the age of 11 years in 28% of children with a thoracic neurosegmental level, 30% of those with an L1/2 level, 36% of L3, 22% of L4, 7% of L5 and only 1% of those with sacral levels. Hip dislocation was not inevitable even when there was maximal muscle imbalance ab...
متن کاملPacemaker assessment in the ambulant patient.
A new technique for assessing implanted cardiac pacemaker function in the ambulant patient has been introduced and assessed. A modified portable electrocardiograph recorder is used to store 24 hours of electrocardiograms along with marker pulses indicating the timing of pacemaker impulses. The recorder detects this narrow impulse and records a wider marker pulse on a second channel. The false p...
متن کاملOperation for calcaneus deformity after surgery for club foot.
We describe three patients who developed gross calcaneus deformity following surgery for talipes equinovarus. One also had an associated valgus deformity and another had supination of the forefoot; all had intractable problems with footwear. Operation for transfer of the tibialis anterior to the heel, with correction of the associated deformities, was successful and improved both their gait and...
