Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 10
Abstract
BACKGROUND : To final out agreement of association between radiological parameters and pirani scoring in management of idiopathic clubfeet corrected by ponseti method. METHOD : 50 patients of CTEV fulfilling criteria, attending at sms hospital OPD, department of orthopaedics, from May 2017 to April 2018 will be included. All patients included in this study were thoroughly assessed clinically and radiologically. RESULT : The ponseti method of clubfoot correction has considerably decreased the need for surgery and its attending complication. The pirani score is useful to grade the initial extent of the deformity and to assess the progress of foot correction. CONCLUSION : Our study does not support routine use of radiograph during ponseti cast correction and during follow up. Better result on clinical examination, palpation, and use of radiograph only in unusual cases.
