The author recommends Whitman-Lorenz's conservative method used in 16 patients for this purpose. The treatment consists of a long-term plaster cast. At first the patient lies in bed for 3 months, and the cast is applied with a half corset and covers the entire foot; the next 4 weeks he begins to walk with a stirrup, then the foot is released, and after another month the cast is removed from the lower leg.
