'BAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 1- (AP
Dotourlng of muscles and nerves In
surgical remodeling of arma and legs
to convert crippled children Into
atrong boys and girla was described
to the American College of Surgeons
here today.
The operations were reported by
lroy O. Abbott M. D., and Frederick
C. Host, M. D., of the University of
pallfornla medical school.
. one was a 13-ycar-old girl with a
U deformity due to a brain injury
at birth. The leg Buffered from per
manent spasm, stiffening and de
formity because part of the brain
controlling crrtaln leg muscles did
not work properly,
Strain Relieved
Tho surgeons cut some of the
Borvrs lending to the faulty musclea,
thereby disconnecting thorn partly
from the haywire control. They
lengthened the muscles, which had
been too short, by a tendon opera
tion. Tho result was to relieve the
Strain which had held the child's Leg
Jn deformed position.
Another operation cures the de
formity variously known as "sufflin
foot," drag foot and hammsr foot.
This cornea from faulty work of the
peroneal muscles, which wag the foot
up and down. These are long mus
tfrs running down the aide of the
The operation aubstltutes the mua
dea with which you raise your big
toe for the foot wagging muscles.
Tho toe muscle Is the "exterior" of
the foot, a long muscle extending
down the leg near the shin bone and
fastened to the big toe.
t The operation disconnects this
nuncio from the big too and fastens
It over on the little toe Inside of the
foot, though not directly to the little
too. In that posllon It can raise and
lower the foot.
A boy of 14. with fect so "flat"
that he was unable to piny or even
walk without pain, had his foot bones
removed and reshaped surgically, and
the muscles In the feet awltched
and detoured Into routes to operate
his new feet.
"Flat I'eel" M1lradlite
' Flat Feet la a m blending term, said
a report by Arthur L. Fisher, M, D.,
of San Francisco. Feet which are
automatically flat may causo no trou
ble, while others with a high arch
may be oxtrnmcly painful. It la tho
faulty pull of muscles or tendons
rather than tho shape which counts.
Dr. Fisher told of operations on
the Achilles trndon In the heel which
will relieve the trouble regardless of
tho flat or high arch of tho feet.
. A sinus known as sphenoid, situ
toed near the center of the skull,
back of the nose, was blamed by
Chester H. Bower. M. D., of Los An
geles, for a variety of pains seldom
traced to their proper source.
These troubles, he said. Include
bradnche, pain over the canine tooth,
jwtn or continuous burning In tho
throat, pain In tho back of the head
or even In tho car. Sometimes this
alnus leads to troubles In vision, he
eld.
