Efficacy of Ponseti Technique in Virgin and Relapsed Clubfeet: A Comparative Study.

Doubts still loom over the effectiveness of Ponseti casting in treating children with recurrent clubfeet. We have undertaken this study to confirm whether excellent results obtained in treating virgin clubfeet by Ponseti casting can be reproduced with equal success in relapsed clubfeet. The patients were divided into 2 groups; Group I was untreated children with congenital clubfeet younger than 1 year of age (21 feet) and Group II was children with relapsed congenital clubfeet younger than 2 years of age (21 feet).

Loose body as an obstacle for posterolateral arthroscopic portal formation in the knee joint.

In this report, we present a case with difficult arthroscopic posterolateral portal formation due to loose body located in posterior compartment. These loose bodies are responsible for pain, decreased range of motion and cartilage damage in the knee joint. By making the posterior trans-septal portal prior, posterolateral portal could be made without difficulty completing the planned arthroscopic procedure.
