Treatment of idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) with ponseti method and its short term outcome
Journal Title: Scholars Academic Journal of Biosciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Idiopathic clubfoot (CTEV) is the most common congenital complex deformity of foot which is very difficult to correct. The resurgence of conservative treatment for clubfoot is because of good results of Ponseti’s technique. This method has made the need for surgical procedures very low and thus eliminating the complications associated with extensive surgery. A prospective study of 40 patients with 46 idiopathic clubfoot bilateral in 6 patients, with a minimum 2year after treatment follow-up, we were able to achieve correction in more than 90% of feet and the importance of percutaneous tendoachillis tenotomy in more than 80% of feet. The use of Pirani scoring system is a very useful tool to objectively analyse the results. Keywords: Idiopathic clubfoot, CTEV, Ponseti method, percutaneous tenotomy, Pirani scoring, short term study.
