The earlier the patient is hospitalized the better correction result is achieved. In spite of the diagnosis simplicity the patients are not timely referred for surgical correction.

Kumar-Cowell-Ramsey operation was performed in children under 5 years. In children aged 5-12 Coleman operation was used and in children over 12 triarticular arthrodesis was performed.
