This brace was used byTaylor to correct deformity as well as to retain the foot in p-roper position, asis illustrated by these figures. As a retention apparatus the foot-plate shouldbe held at a right angle to the upright by the stop-joint shown in Fig. 543. rotated outward on the femur. Even if the tibia is actuallytwisted on its long axis, the influence of the brace and forciblemanipulation will usually correct the deformity. Acti
