Abstract:
[Objective]To compare the differences in using Ponseti method treating congenital clubfoot (CCF) patients older than six-month and younger than six-month of congenital clubfoot(CCF). [Method]Five hundreds and forty-four feet in 378 cases of CCF were treated with Ponseti method. According to the age differences, they were divided into older infancy group (﹥6 month, 227 feet in 157 cases and younger infancy group(≤6 month,317 feet in 221 cases). The deformation degree of CCF was evaluated by the Pirani scoring system. A scoring of 0-0.5 was regarded as being excellent. For each group, we evaluated the percentage of excellence result according to the Pirani score, the number of casts used, and the percentage of percutaneous achillotenotomy. The result was compared between the two groups. [Result]The excellence rate showed no significant differences between the two groups (P﹥0.05). Both the number of casts used and the percentage of percutaneous achillotenotomy in the younger infancy group were more than that in the older infancy group. There was obvious difference between the two groups (P
