Abstract
1 . Paralytic talipes calcaneus and calcaneo-cavus are difficult deformities to correct and keep corrected. Many operations have been devised for this purpose.
2. Emslie's operation is a simple procedure by which satisfactory correction can be obtained and maintained. It can be modified to suit individual cases without altering the basic principles of the procedure and is physiologically sound.
3. Illustrative cases are described.
