We reviewed the outcome in 10 idiopathic clubfeet in 7 patients treated with the Ilizarov external fixator (IEF) for persistent foot deformities after previous surgery. After follow-up of a median of 40 (25-56) months, 6 patients/parents were satisfied with the results and most of them reported better walking capacity and fewer problems finding shoes that fit. Severe equinus deformity was seen in 9/10 feet prior to treatment in the IEF and in no foot at follow-up. However, persistent reduction of ankle joint motion, limited walking capacity and intermittent pain were commonly found.
