This paper reports the movement of the hind foot in operated club foot.Over 2.5-year period, a total of 46 feet in 34 patients were used for this investigation. The movement of the hind foot was measured by the lateral radiographs in the maximal plantal and dorsal fiexion of the ankle.TC index (Beatson) was measured before and after the operation to determine the varus condition of the club foot.Preoperatively, tibio-calcaneal angle of the lateral radiograph in the maximal dorsal flexion was measured to determine the equinus condition.The movement of hind foot, to the plantal fiexion, was found to be closely related with TC index in both before and after the operation. The equinus condition was related to TC index. As a consequence, limited plantal flexion was augmented in severe equinus foot.
