- Early clubfoot recurrence can lead to more frequent and earlier second recurrences - October 2024 - Schaibley, Claire; Torres-Izquierdo, Beltran; Hosseinzadeh, Pooya
Conclusion: This study suggests that early clubfoot recurrence leads to more frequent subsequent recurrence and earlier second recurrence. Patients with early recurrence had comparatively lower outcome scores, primarily due to multiple recurrences. Care providers could use this knowledge to educate parents about the natural history of recurrent clubfeet and emphasize the importance of brace compliance and routine monitoring.
- Early Predictors of Recurrence and Long-Term Results of Clubfoot Treated by Ponseti Method - 19 March 2024 - Pankaj Kumar Maurya, Alok Sahu, Mathew Varghese Published in International Journal of Health Sciences & Research
Conclusion: Ponseti treatment method is a safe and satisfactory method for congenital idiopathic clubfoot with long term effectiveness. Recurrences mainly occurred due to noncompliance with foot abduction brace. Recurrences can also be treated by same method.
