Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Congenital idiopathic clubfoot (CC) is the fifth most common congenital malformation in children. The Ponseti method is an effective protocol for treatment of congenital idiopathic clubfoot. Plaster is essential for the Ponseti treatment. This paper describes a new brace that can be used for the treatment of clubfoot in newborns and infants instead of plaster.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Methods In the orthopedic department of our hospital, 38 infants and newborns, (57 feet) ,all the patients were under the age of 3 months with congenital clubfoot underwent polyaxial braces between Jan, 2011 to Oct ,2013. Polyaxial brace was used for the deformity correction. Then, during the following 1-3 years, the Dennis braces were used during the night in case of recurrence. Prospective follow-up for a mean duration of 25 months (range, 15-36months) was carried out. The efficacy of the treatment was assessed by Pirani's scoring system before and after treatment.
