Rocker bottom deformity may occur during the conservative treatment of idiopathic congenital clubfoot. Between 1975 and 1996, we treated 715 patients (1120 clubfeet) conservatively. A total of 23 patients (36 feet; 3.2%) developed a rocker bottom deformity. It is these patients that we have studied. The pathoanatomy of the rocker bottom deformity is characterised by a plantar convexity appearin...

The idiopathic clubfoot represents a congenital deformation incorporating four distinct alterations: the equinus, varus, cavus and adduction of the forefoot to the hindfoot. The meaning given to the conservative treatment of clubfoot by French method is that of mobilization-manipulation and serial plaster immobilizations. We followed the results of the early conservative orthopedic treatment in...

The bones and joints of the foot deform into fixed equinus, adductus, cavus, and supination as patients walk on the side or dorsum of the foot. There is severe obliquity of the calcaneocuboid joint, which must be corrected in most cases. An algorithmic surgical approach, using peritalar soft tissu...

Abstract Background Clubfeet are typically shorter than normal feet.

Background. This study was designed to evaluate the function of the foot undergoing the procedure of percutaneous Achilles tenotomy (PAT) in case of clubfoot management in terms of gait analysis. Methods. Nineteen patients with unilateral clubfeet were retrospectively reviewed from our database from July 2012 to June 2016.

Purpose of the study: In this study assessment of treatment results of old age children (13-18 years) with congenital recurrent clubfoot at the RISC’RTO’ by the method of transosseous osteosynthesis was done. Materials and methods: In our clinic from 2004 to 2016 65 children (77 feet) aged 13-18 (mean age was 14.6 years) with congenital recurrent clubfoot have been treated. All patients were tr...

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the idiopathic congenital clubfoot deformity treated by Ponseti method to determine the different factors such as radiological investigations that may have relations with the risk of failure and recurrence in mid-term follow-up of the patients.
