Morton's neuroma.

During the past 10 years we have operated on 75 feet for Morton's neuroma with a minimal follow up of nine months. Associated anomalies were found in 80%. Pathological studies demonstrated that the lesion was irritative in nature. The clinical results were satisfactory in 94%.

Congenital flat foot: different clinical forms.

Using standard lateral x rays of 32 congenital flat feet (CFF) treated in our institutions, we studied the alignment in the sagittal plane of the tarsal and metatarsal bones. All feet presented with a complete dislocation of the talonavicular joint and a vertical talus. In some cases, however, the alignment of the calcaneocuboid joint was abnormal. In these, both the talus and the calcaneus appeared verticalized with no apparent subtalar joint subluxation (type I). Other cases, by contrast, had a normally aligned calcaneus thus implying subluxation of the subtalar joint (type II). Between the two types, a spectrum of clinical forms combining features from both categories exists. Recognition of the different varieties of CFF is of importance when planning surgery. Type I CFF requires reduction and stabilization of the whole midtarsal joint, while in type II CFF attention must be given to both the subtalar and calcaneocuboid joints.

Gluteal fibrosis.

After reviewing the literature the authors discuss the aetiology and pathogenesis of gluteal fibrosis. We believe that the condition occurs more frequently than is thought. If this is borne in mind when dealing with children from four to six years old, presenting with abnormal gaits, an early diagnosis can be made. As regards treatment, we agree with those authors who maintain that if diagnosed early the lesion can be treated successfully by physiotherapy alone. In more advanced cases, Z lengthening of the tendon is indicated.

The subtalar joint: embryology and morphology.

Several different aspects of the subtalar joint are studied. Embryology indicates that it is a recently acquired structure. The anterior subtalar joint does not have a uniform morphology, and it has been subdivided into three anatomical descriptions (ovoid, bean, and two part). To correct the confusion found in other papers, we intend to clearly describe the anatomy of the ligaments. The form and function of the retinacula, cervical ligament, and ligament of the canal are studied. The microscopic anatomy of ligaments is studied, dealing specifically with their innervation and the structure of their fibers.
