Can Below-Knee Casts be Effective for Clubfoot Management in Walking-Age Children? A Prospective Cohort Study.

Purpose: Above-knee casts pose a major challenge in the day-to-day activities among walking age clubfoot patients due to complete restriction of knee movement. This current study investigates the effectiveness of below-knee casts compared to above-knee casts for managing walking age clubfoot deformity.

Methods: After approval from the institutional ethical committee, we enrolled walking age clubfoot patients for deformity correction through corrective manipulation and casting through below-knee casts over 2 years.

Changes in the Foot After Two Years of Deformity Correction in Neglected Clubfeet Treated With Modified Ponseti Technique.

Introduction Neglected clubfoot comprises clubfoot deformities with late presentation and weight-bearing on the affected foot. These deformities are stiff and need an aggressive approach for cast-based management. The modified versions of the Ponseti technique have been found effective in treating these deformities.

Malleolar tips as reference points for positioning of syndesmotic screw: A preliminary CT based analysis.

Purpose: The risk of malpositioning of the syndesmotic screws is very high. A lack of standard radiological or physical references for accurate syndesmotic screw placement is a potential contributing factor in syndesmotic screw malpositioning. Malleolar tips are clinically as well as radiologically appreciable bony references.

Solitary Intramedullary Cervical Cysticercosis without Neurological Deficit: A Rare Case Report.

Neurocysticercosis is commonly seen intracranially and its incidence in the spinal cord is very low. Among spine dorsal region is more common due to more blood flow in this region and it is usually associated with lesion at other sites. The intramedullary location is rarer than extramedullary.

A very rare cause of chronic foot pain in a child: metatarsal tubercular osteomyelitis.

Pure tubercular osteomyelitis without joint involvement is rare and easily missed. Moreover the lesion is common in spine and large joints like hip and knee. The involvement of isolated metatarsal has been described rarely, only as few sporadic case reports.
