 A
24 year old man was suffering from this deformity of the foot because
of polio. Foot is a complex organ consisting of various bones connected
by multiple joints that are controlled by various groups of muscles. |
 In
conditions like polio myelitis & arthritis, these joints are affected
and this alters the shape of the foot which in-turn affects the walking
cycle.
Since multiple joints are affected, careful planning of the surgery is required to achieve the desired results. |
 X-ray
and CT scans do provide necessary information but the model gives one
an opportunity to simulate the surgical steps before it is actually
performed. |
