    Abstract

    We reviewed the long-term results of the Dillwyn Evans procedure for club foot in 60 feet of 45 patients with an average age of 29 years, using four different scoring systems. The results at 12 to 38 years were compared with those of an earlier study of the same group of patients. Function was satisfactory in 68% of feet; 90% of the patients were able to perform all desired activities. Mild residual deformity was compatible with satisfactory function, and poor function was related to ankle and subtalar stiffness. Our results suggest that this procedure has a low rate of deterioration and degenerative change with time.
