“…Early amniocentesis (\ 13 weeks gestation) was associated with an increased risk in talipes equinovarus compared to midgestational amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling [51]. Increased risk of clubfoot was partially associated with amniotic fluid leakage, suggesting that oligohydramnios occurring at a critical gestational period may be detrimental to foot development [66].…”

“…On the other hand, portions of two trials had some prospective components (8,22). The report of Silver et al (8) was a secondary analysis of a randomized trial, which was underpowered owing to difficulties in obtaining the necessary sample size (30). In addition, the report of Khalil et al (22) indicated that their trial was part of an ongoing prospective study, but actually the outcomes were acquired retrospectively.…”

“…14 The achilles tendon may need to be subcutaneously sectioned to facilitate this correction. [15][16] Ponseti developed and refined his method of serial casting in the 1940's, based on the above principles, but kite's method still remained in vogue till a decade back, when the long term results of ponseti were published. In our study before treatment, before the treatment, the mean pirani score for hind foot was 2.39.…”

Background: In developed countries, many children with clubfoot undergo extensive corrective surgery, often with disturbing failures and complications. The need for one or more revision surgeries is common. Although the foot looks better after surgery, it is stiff, weak, and often painful. Non-operative treatment of clubfoot provides a lower complication rate, less pain, and higher function as the patient ages. Lack of information regarding reasons for adherence to the regimen makes it difficult for health providers and health planners to determine the impact of treatments on health status or weigh the cost/benefit ratio for prescribing costly treatments to the patients. Therefore, it is important to understand how parents and health care givers manage their children’s treatment and the potential barriers these parents encounter during the utilization of clubfoot treatment services. It is important to determine the compliance of patients to clubfoot correction treatment in order to identify and target factors that may positively or negatively influence cases attending the clinic.Methods: 25 cases with clubfoot were studied in the Department of Orthopaedics, Katihar Medical College. Out of these, 13 cases (Group A) were children over 1 year of age with neglected clubfoot and 12 cases (Group B) were children under one year of age with idiopathic clubfoot.Results: The Ponseti method delivers excellent correction of clubfoot without the associated risks and complications of major foot surgery. Patients treated with Ponseti’s method have leverage in treatment of clubfoot than those treated by other conservative methods. The method provides more flexible foot and ankle than those treated surgically.Conclusions: Treatment of clubfoot if commenced early will have better result. Children of age less than 1 year respond better than children of older age group. Younger children require fewer correction casts.
