The methods of the surgical correction of the mobile equino-plano-valgus deformation feet in the children with cerebral palsy: the crux of the matter according to the literature data
Based on the literature data, the author analyses the effectiveness of the main operative methods of the mobile correction of the equino-plano-valgus foot deformation (EPVDF) in children with infantile cerebral palsy (CP). The main aspects of the etiopathology and clinical presentations of the pathology and methods of its diagnosis are highlighted. Based on the lot of literature sources, the author makes a conclusion about the lack of surgical methods, that permit to carry out the correction all the EPVDF components in the patients with CP without arthrodesis of the any foot joint, transarticular osteotomy or devices implantation. The development of the operative interventions without any anatomy disturbing or joint functions of the numerous patients and possessing reconstructive opportunities is one of the most perspective directions in surgery of the foot pathology of the children with spastic EPVDF.
