Abstract
We report the results of partial wound closure of the Cincinnati incision after surgical correction of 31 clubfeet in 21 children. The mean length of follow-up was 36.9 months. All feet were evaluated for the appearance of the scar and correction of the deformities. The initial appearance of the wound was a major concern to the parents. The final appearance of the scar was cosmetically acceptable to both the surgeon and the parents. Equinus deformity was corrected in all patients, with three of the feet attaining a dorsiflexion of more than 20°.
