Background: Idiopathic clubfoot is one of the most common pediatric foot deformities, affecting approximately 1-4 per 1000 live births. It was through his attempt to understand the pathophysiology of clubfoot, as well as his ability to learn from the mistakes of his predecessors, that Ponseti developed his current method of treatment for clubfoot. Hence; we planned the present study to assess the efficacy of ponseti and kite's method of treatment for idiopathic clubfoot. Materials & Methods: The present investigation included evaluation of efficacy of ponseti and kite's method of treatment for idiopathic clubfoot. A total of 30 clubfeet patients were included in the present study. Among these 30 patients, 18 were bilateral while the remaining 12 were unilateral (feet). Thus a total of 48 feet were randomly divided with 24 patients in each group; Ponseti or Kite method. Kite's method and Ponseti's method of manipulation and casting were performed as per randomization method. Follow-up details of all the patients were recorded. All the results were analysed by SPSS software. Results: Mean pirani score in the ponseti group and the kite group was found to be 1.3 and 2.1 at one week time respectively. Mean pirani score in the ponseti group and the kite group was found to be 1.2 and 1.9 at tenth week tome respectively. Significant results were obtained while comparing the mean pirani score in the ponseti group and the kite group. Conclusion:In terms of total Pirani scores, reduction occurred comparatively faster with Ponseti in comparison to Kite's method of manipulation of clubfoot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
