Abstract
Introduction: Clubfoot is one of the oldest and commonest deformities of mankind, ever since man has adopted the erect posture. Study aimed to assess the role of Joshi's External Stabilisation System (JESS) in treatment of neglected, relapse and resistant cases of clubfoot and to evaluate the morbidity and complications of the method and to suggest ways to overcome them. Method and Materials: This prospective study was done in a tertiary care center involving subjects with old, neglected, relapsed, resistant cases of clubfoot treated by Joshi’s external stabilizing system. Total 10 subjects (14 feet) were included, which were corrected by JESS.All patients were evaluated clinically, Pirani Scoring, radiographically and by podograph, both before and after the correction. Results: Severity of the deformities and clinical outcome was assessed by Pirani score. All patients achieved good results as per Pirani score. The pre- and post correction also assess by podographically. Conclusion: Treatment of neglected, relapse and resistant cases of clubfoot by JESS is an effective and patient-friendly method of management.
