Description: circumferential soft-tissue release involving posterior, medial, lateral, and plantar aspects of the foot; - its designed particularly to correct the horizontal subtalar rotation of the calcaneus that is associated with congenital club foot; - because of this, the posterior aspect of the calcaneus not only is in position of equinus but also is rotated and displaced laterally toward the fibular malleolus; - this can be corrected only by freeing it completely, thus correcting abnormal rotation;
