The medical age : a semi-monthly journal of medicine and surgery . health until he was two years of age, when he wasattacked with scarlet fever of a severe type. This was followed by a para-lyzed condition of the peronei muscles which caused, as the parents expressedit, a certain amount of dragging of the foot. This condition of things went onfrom bad to worse until the childs foot, when he was admitted in the hospital,presented the appearance shown in Fig. 1. This boy was eight years of age when we operated upon him. The resultof the operation was good, as shown in Fig. 2, but as will be noticed in thatillustration the foot was considerably swollen. This is due to the fact that thephotograph was taken shortly after the operation, the parents being in a hurryto take the child home. In these severe cases, after the Phelps operation it isno unusual thing for the foot to remain swollen for a considerable time, owingto a number of vessels being cut, and consequently it takes some time for thereturn circulation to become freely reestablished.
