Aim: Through this review we aim to investigate if there is an alternative orthotic treatment for paediatric patients with idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus showing the same maintenance of correction as the benchmark treatment but with higher adherence. Methods: A literature search was performed in the data bases MEDLINE, CINAHL and Scopus. Predetermined eligibility criteria were used to include and exclude articles. Critical appraisal was performed for the included articles. Relevant data was extracted, analyzed and presented to aid in answering the research question. Results: Of the 204 articles found in databases, seven were included in the final review. Adherence rate and relapse rate was extracted from the seven orthotic interventions. Most of the orthoses presented both better adherence and maintenance of correction than the benchmark treatment. The majority were case series, not including a comparison group and with short-term follow-up. Conclusion: The results indicate that there are orthotic designs that may be preferred over the traditional Denis Browne bar. However, the lack of high-quality evidence and standardization to detect and define a relapse and measure adherence makes it difficult to recommend an alternative orthosis with the present evidence. Factors other than the orthotic design also influence the adherence. |
