The Evaluation of Deformity Correction in Idiopathic Clubfoot During Ponseti Casting Sessions: Two Scoring Methods Depicted Graphically
Abstract:Background
We graphically analyzed the correction of total Pirani and Dimeglio scores and their subcomponents at sequential casting sessions for children with idiopathic clubfeet.
Methods
Correction of scores at weekly sessions was represented graphically. The tenotomy effect was accounted for separately. We classified 1st to 3rd casts as early, 4th and 5th cast midlevel, and beyond 5 as final casts to describe casting treatment.
Results
A total of 88 clubfeet (34 bilateral) in 54 patients were studied. Both t… Show more
