FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME OF CONGENITAL TALIPES EQUINOVARUS TREATED BY SERIAL CASTING USING PONSETI METHOD
Abstract
Congenital Talipes Equinovarus is the most common congenital condition rst described by Hippocrates. The term ―”Talipus Equinovarus” is derived from the Latin: Talus means ankle; pes means foot and equinus meaning ―”horselike” (plantarexed) and varus meaning inversion plus adduction.1 Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), commonly known as congenital 2 clubfoot, is one of the most prevalent birth disorders affecting the musculoskeletal system and is found in one out of every 1,000 live births. Every year, a large number of infants are born with congenital clubfoot. One CTEV occurs for every 1000 live births. The majority of these children were born in nations where they continue to receive inadequate or no treatment, which lowers their quality of life. The controversy around CTEV has existed and been known to mankind since the beginning of existence. These topics have been the focus of several studies, all of which have helped us comprehend the pathoanatomy and choose the best course of action. However, according to the literature, treatment for clubfoot is often successful in all cases. We documented the functional results of the Ponseti method's serial cast repair of CTEV in our study.
