Resumo11 cases of post-polio residual paralysis with flail feet and ankles tending to valgus deformity on weight bearing, were stabilised by arthrodesis of the ankle and subtalar joints through the posterior approach. Functional results were excellent and, compared with pantalar arthrodesis the operating time was much less and soft tissue complications minimal.
