Purpose: There is some disagreement about whether idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) increases the risk of neonatal developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). This study aimed to investigate the incidence of DDH in our infants with idiopathic CTEV.
Methods: We conducted an observational cohort study over a three-year period to assess the relationship between idiopathic CTEV and DDH. All neonates younger than six weeks with idiopathic CTEV who were treated in our medical centre were admitted to this study. Each subject underwent hip ultrasound examination using the Graf method at the age of six weeks. DDH was diagnosed when a hip was type IIa(-) or worse according to the Graf classification of sonographic hip type.
Results: A total of 184 patients were diagnosed with idiopathic CTEV and underwent hip sonography. In total, seven hips of five individuals underwent treatment (four girls and one boy). The results indicated that 2.7% of babies (five of 184) with idiopathic CTEV had DDH. However, we did not find any statistically significant difference (p = 0.5776) in the Pirani scores between the DDH group and group with normal hips.
Conclusions: This study revealed that the idiopathic CTEV group had a greater incidence of DDH in comparison with the general population. It is recommended that hip sonography be undertaken particularly in patients with idiopathic CTEV.

Prevalence and Associations of Depression in Parents of Children With Congenital Talipes Equinovarus: A Single-Centre Study.

Introduction: Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital deformity that requires weekly visits to the hospital for manipulation and corrective cast application, followed by an intensive bracing regimen requiring multiple visits to the hospital spread over the years. Parents of children with clubfoot are known to undergo a range of negative emotions. The objective of this study was to identify the prevalence of depression and the factors associated with depression in parents of children with idiopathic CTEV.

Objective: This retrospective analysis aimed to assess the effectiveness of Split Tibialis Anterior Tendon Transfer (Split TATT) in treating residual idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) deformities.
Methods: 15 patients (20 feet) with CTEV, with a mean age of 6.4 ± 3.

Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital deformity affecting the feet, commonly idiopathic in nature. We present a previously unreported cause of a non-idiopathic clubfoot and highlight the importance of poor response to initial treatment.A poor response to Ponseti serial casting for CTEV should alert a clinician to the fact that the foot may not be in the 'idiopathic' group and be of a more complex nature.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to track the correction of individual components of Pirani scoring system (PSS) over the manipulation and tenotomy phase of Ponseti casting method in idiopathic clubfoot. Additionally, non-zero PSS scores were analysed to find out the residual deformities.
Methods: The included feet were assessed initially according to the six component PSS.
A 'Hub and Spoke' Shared Care initiative for CTEV Ponseti service.

Trauma and Orthopaedics Department, St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.
Aims: The Ponseti method is the gold standard treatment for congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), with the British Consensus Statement providing a benchmark for standard of care. Meeting these standards and providing expert care while maintaining geographical accessibility can pose a service delivery challenge. A novel 'Hub and Spoke' Shared Care model was initiated to deliver Ponseti treatment for CTEV, while addressing standard of care and resource allocation.
