A new method for correcting genu flexus and equinus foot, in order to achieve a normal step of the foot and the recurvatum of the knee, uses a device which consists of a pushing component and a traction component. The pushing component comprises a piece of suitable material in an appropriate form, which exerts a pressure on the supracondyle region of the femur. The position of the piece and the pressure it exerts is adjusted by means of a jack operated by a spindle, such that it is possible to adapt the device to different sizes and shapes of the legs of different patients. The traction component consists of a piece in the form of a receptacle that is attached to the ankle, the position and angle of which can be adjusted with respect to the axis of the leg. Once the traction component has been put in place, there are means for displacing it in the longitudinal direction, in the direction of the separation of the pushing component.
