A subset of postoperative recurrent clubfeet was isolated in a group of patients 4 to 8 years old. Twenty-seven consecutive patients who underwent redo surgery consisting of complete soft tissue clubfoot release combined with a calcaneocuboid fusion were reviewed for this study. Twenty-six feet of 27 feet in 20 patients had a long-term good result, suggesting that this procedure is the one of choice for this age group.

Background: Clubfoot occurs in up to 50% of patients with spina bifida (SB) and 90% with arthrogryposis (AR). Many of these patients with neuromuscular clubfoot deformity fail conservative casting and require surgery with posteromedial lateral release (PMLR). Limited data exist for the outcomes of PMLR in patients with SB and AR.

Article Synopsis
- This study examined the effectiveness and complications of transferring the anterior or posterior tibial tendons to the peroneus tertius for correcting equinovarus deformities in patients from 2017 to 2022.
- A total of 176 patients (210 feet) underwent the procedure, with significant improvements noted in foot and ankle range of motion as well as radiographic measurements post-surgery.
- Results showed substantial positive changes in various angles and clinical scores, indicating successful outcomes from the tendon transfer technique used in managing these foot deformities.
Background: the clubfoot is one of the most common pathologies in pediatric orthopedics. There are few studies of physical self-concept and perception of health in these patients.
Material And Methods: observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study.

Acute brain injuries are caused by a variety of etiologies, each potentially disrupting neurological function. The neurologic impairments are on a spectrum of severity often creating functional barriers to completing activities of daily living. Initial treatment starts immediately upon diagnosis and requires a multimodal approach working to prevent systemic changes.
