Is the modified Ponseti method effective in treating atypical and complex clubfoot? A systematic review.

Purpose: In 2006, Ponseti modified the standard technique to treat cases of "atypical" and "complex" clubfoot. To determine the outcomes of Ponseti's modified method to treat complex idiopathic clubfoot patients, we asked the following: (1) What is the deformity correction success rate? (2) What is the relapse rate after the correction? (3) What is the incidence of complications?

Materials And Methods: We performed a systematic review by searching the EMBASE, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases from inception to March 1, 2021. All studies on idiopathic, complex, and atypical clubfoot that assessed Ponseti's modified technique were included.

Research activities and critical appraisal skills among Saudi orthopedic residents.

The aim of this study was to assess the practice, attitudes, perception, and limitations associated with research among residents in the Saudi orthopedic program in the central region.
