“…Historically conservative management was introduced by Hippocrates in around 400 BC [13,14]. Later in the 1963, Kite introduced his method, referred to as the Kite method, which included manipulation and casting technique, but the success rate of this method was poor [15,16]. Subsequently in the 196Os the development of successful non-operative treatment program by Dr. Ponseti provided a grate impetus for universal treatment of clubfoot [9].…”

Background: Clubfoot is a birth defect found in about 1000 live births yearly in Cameroon and its treatment is often associated with relapses. The objective of this study was to evaluate treatment outcomes with the Ponseti’s technique and factors associated with relapses. Methods: We conducted a 5-year retrospective study on clubfoot children at the Bafoussam Baptist Healthcare Center (BBHC). Data on age, sex, birth setting, previous treatment, pirani scoring, number of casts and follow-ups, bracing and relapse were recorded in case report forms. Data were analyzed with SPSS: 25 software; bivariate analysis was performed to determine factors associated with relapse. Results: This study enrolled 78 clubfoot children with median age, 12 months (IQR1,24), 44 (56.4%) had undergone previous treatment elsewhere. The mean Pirani score before treatment was 4.9 [±SD: 0.9] for the left foot (LF), and 4.9 [±SD: 1] for the right (RF). The average number of casts performed was 6.5 [±SD: 1.5]. Tenotomy of the Achilles tendon was performed in 54 (69.2%) children. The mean final Pirani score was 0.9 [±SD: 0.5] for the LF and 0.8 [±SD: 0.6] for the RF. Only 5 (6.4%) cases did not wear Iowa braces and loss of sight rate was 1.3% (1/78). The relapse rate was 9.1% (7 /77). Treatment requiring >8 casts was associated with relapse (aOR: 10.35; CI [1.05-101.55]; P=0.04). Conclusion: The Ponseti’s technique is effective in the treatment of CTEV in the West region of Cameroon. Treatment requiring more than 8 cats is a risk factor for relapse.

“…The medial collateral ligament complex (MCLC) or deltoid ligament (DL) forms a strong composite structure that stabilizes the tibiotalar and subtalar joints and helps prevent excessive eversion of the hindfoot, controlling the valgus, the external rotation, and the anterior translation of the talus. 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 Although DL injuries account for only 5 to 10% of those affecting the ankle ligaments of the active population, 2 they are related to processes such as hyperpronation, 1 damage to the articular cartilage of the talus, 6 , 7 and the chronic mechanical instability associated with DL laxity after injury. 6 …”

To properly diagnose and treat injuries to the ankle or foot, the physician must have good anatomical knowledge of the ligaments involved. The bundles can be distinguished and identified by ultrasound examination of the medial aspect, but this may be a challenging task. In the present illustrated study, we discuss how a detailed ultrasound examination can be made of the different ligaments within the medial aspect of the ankle and foot.
