Abstract

Congenital Clubfoot is one of the most common congenital birth defect. The Deformity in the Clubfoot is combination of adductus, cavusand equinus. The Ponseti method is at present a well established method for management of idiopathic clubfoot deformities. We here report our experience with the ponseti method of casting in the treatment of congenital clubfoot. We had treated 68 clubfeet in 50 childrenby this Ponseti technique between August 2018 and August 2020 in the department of Orthopaedics at Rajindra Hospital, Patiala. Protocol described by ponseti was used and percutaneous tenotomy of tendoachillis was done wherever required. The Pirani score was used for assessment of the deformity and the mean follow up time was 15 months (6 to 30).
