Abstract
In four children with primary subacute osteomyelitis of the talus seen one to five months from the onset of symptoms, the only constant complaints were of pain and a limp. All four were treated by curettage, immobilisation in plaster and appropriate antibiotics. All the bony cavities were healed within eight months of the operation and there were no growth disturbances nor any abnormalities of the adjacent joints.
