[Causes of recurrence of congenital clubfoot in children and indications for surgical treatment].

Unsatisfactory results of the conservative treatment of club foot deformity in 220 patients (346 feet) were analyzed. Data of roentgenograms in 86 patients enabled the authors to make a conclusion that an early cause of recurrent club foot is the delayed formation of nuclei of ossification of the navicular and I sphenoid bones, the later cause of the recurrent deformity is early synostosis of the epiphysis of the metatarsal bone. The importance of dispensary observation ad prophylactic measures after the treatment of congenital club foot is emphasized.

[Changes in the cervical spine in congenital spastic torticollis].

The authors have examined 19 children with congenital spastic torticollis. Roentgenography of the cervical part of the spine was made in all the patients before operative treatment and at different terms after surgery. The results of the examination suggest that torticollis is responsible for the abnormal function and development of the cervical part of the spine in children. It has been established that in cases with ineffective conservative treatment the early surgical correction must be recommended followed by continuous fixation of the patients' head in the right posture and permanent dispensary control.
