A review of elongation of os calcis for flat feet.
نویسنده
چکیده
Between 1959 and 1974 the late Dillwyn Evans treated severe symptomatic flat feet by elongating the os calcis. The long-term follow-up of 20 of these patients with a total of 23 feet is presented 7 to 20 years after the operation. At review 17 of the 23 feet showed very good or good results and it was concluded that this is a useful procedure for severe cases of flat feet which appears to stand the test of time.

متن کاملPrimary Tumors of the Os Calcis
The os calois is an unusual site of origin of a bone tumor. In fact, in Christensen's study of one thousand bone tumors but 20 were located in the bones of the foot, and fewer than half of these were situated in the os calcis. As early as 1880 Schwartz collected 155 bone tumors of the extremities, of which 8 were primary in the bones of the foot. Thirty years later Stern found that of 20 primar...
