Abstract:Aim: The aim of the present study was to assess the orthopaedic management of club foot at tertiary health carecentre.Methods: This was cross-sectional study carried out in the Department of Orthopaedics with idiopathic club footless than one year age presented to the Orthopaedic Department during the two-years were included into the study.In the two-years period there were 50 patients after written explained consent were enrolled to study. All necessarydetails of the patients were noted like age, sex, pre interventions modified Pirani score noted.Results: The majority of the patients were in the age group of 0-3 (months) were 40%, followed by 3-6 were 32%,6-9 were 18%, 9-12 were 10%. The majority of the patients were Female i.e. 64% and Male were 36%. In all theage groups the Post treatment Pirani score significantly differed as compared to pre-treatment score i.e. 0-3 were5.32 ±2.18 and 1.55 ± 1.035 (t=8.82,df=72,p<0.01); 3-6 were 5.48± 0.82 and 1.58 ± 1.32(t=12.58,df=56,p<0.001); 6-9 were 5.75 ± 2.15 and 2.18±0.96 (t=9.91df=26,p<0.05); 9-12 were 5.36 ± 1.24 and1.86 ± 1.34 (t=10.20,df=24,p<0.001) were statistically significant.Conclusion: According to the results of our investigation, the ponsetti approach was very efficient in themanagement of idiopathic club foot, as measured by the Pirani score for club foot assessment almost all thepatients were doing well with this treatment.
