Active clinical trials for "Equinus Deformity"

Babies with congenital clubfeet are treated by the Ponseti casting method. The procedure may cause discomfort to the patient. This study will examine the use of 5 CC Sucrose solution as a comforting agent for the babies.

There are many different treatments of congenital talipes equinovarus. At our institution, the investigators use the Ponseti method with manipulation and immobilization of the foot. In this study the investigators should like to demonstrate the better outcome in clinical results and in gait analysis of patients treated with the Ponseti method, compared to the 'older' methods of taping and posteromedial release.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to complete a cost analysis of the different methods used for clubfoot treatment. Objectives: Short-term objective: To explore the experience of British Columbia Children's Hospital (BCCH) with costs and outcomes related to the various forms of clubfoot management since 1984 to present. Long-term objective: To use the information gathered in this project and apply it to future studies in the clubfoot research program and to do a complete cost-benefit analysis. Hypothesis: The hypothesis of the study is that the BCCH clubfoot treatment program has better outcomes in terms of reduced financial costs than the traditional surgical management.

We aim at finding prognostic factors of long term (after growth) function outcome in patient with clubfoot treated by ponseti method, based on a very complete prospective recording of treatment variables and outcome

Rate Of Residual Clubfoot Deformity With Correlation To Absence Of Peroneus Tertius Muscle , A Prospective Study.

In prenatal diagnosis of isolated bilateral clubfoot our team propose genetic analysis: a CGH-array. We want to study the rate of aberrations in these cases.
