Abstract
Transfer of half of the calcaneal tendon to the dorsum of the foot will maintain correction of a paralytic equinus deformity. We have used this procedure on 97 feet since 1967. Seventy-six were reviewed and the overall results were excellent or good in 69\%. The outcome was better in children with cerebral palsy (85\% excellent or good) than in those with poliomyelitis (only 13\% excellent or good).
