Comparison Between the Outcome of the Standard and Accelerated Ponseti Casting Methods for Correcting Congenital Talipes Equinovarus Deformity

Background: congenital talipes equinovarus (ctev) is a prevalent congenital foot deformity.the ponseti method is a non-surgical treatment for clubfoot, which entails a sequence of castsand braces. the accelerated ponseti method is a modified version of the standard ponseti method,involving more frequent cast changes.methods: a total of 60 patients with idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (ctev) under theage of one were carefully chosen and assigned to two groups of a (standard) and b (accelerated).the pirani score was used to evaluate each clubfoot before applying a cast. in group a, abovekneecasting was performed once a week, while in group b, it was done twice a week.results: the study involved 60 children with a total of 75 feet. the results indicated ashorter treatment duration with the accelerated ponseti method, while the occurrence of skincomplications was comparable between the two methods.conclusion: in conclusion, both the accelerated and standard ponseti methods are equallyeffective in correcting clubfoot. the accelerated method offers the advantage of reducing theoverall treatment duration and has clear benefits, while no notable difference is observed in skincomplications between the two methods.
