This book is a valuable addition to the bookshelf of an orthopaedic surgeon and is definitely a must for libraries. This book focuses on the techniques devised by the author to deal with severe and rigid club feet deformities, starting at birth itself and getting complicated with inadequate contemporary treatment protocols with increasing age. The author's techniques remain a valuable addition to our armamentarium in the fight against clubfeet for the extreme deformities which we still encounter in LMIC's, in fairly large numbers at present.
