A treatise on orthopedic surgery . An effective, brace for talipes calcaneus, consisting of two light lateralsteel bars joined above by a padded band of steel, which crosses the upper thirdof the tibia, and below by a narrow sole plate. A leather heel support alsoadds somewhat to the efBciency of the apparatus. The heel should be corre-spondingly elevated by a cork wedge placed within the shoe. Fig. The foot after the authors operation for calcaneovalgus showing the restorationof symmetry. Also a simple brace to be worn within the shoe. DEFOBMITIES OF THE FOOT. 865 from the two malleoli

Fig. The foot after the authors operation for calcaneovalgus showing the restorationof symmetry. Also a simple brace to be worn within the shoe. DEFOBMITIES OF THE FOOT. 865 from the two malleoli and the cartilage is removed from theirinner surfaces. The foot is then displaced backward as far aspossible so that the external malleolus may cover the calcaneo-cuboid junction while the inner is forced into the depressionbehind the navicular, the malleolus being changed in shape ifnecessary to assure accurate adjustment. Finally, the peroneitendons are drawn through an 023ening in the tendo Achillis andare sewed to it and to the os calcis with strong silk sutures. The Fig. 591.
