Protocol summary

Study aim
Comparison of range of motion and performance score of two legs in patients with clubfoot treated with ponseti and modified ponseti Comparison of range of motion and performance score of the healthy foot with the patient foot in patients with unilateral clubfoot treated with ponseti or modified ponseti
Design
In this study, a clinical trial with a control group with parallel, randomized and double-blind groups on 100 children with clubfoot. Using the rand function of Excel, patients are divided into control and intervention groups. Except for the surgeon, none of the researchers and patients have access to the personal information of the patients and groups studied. The doctor evaluating the results of the treatment and other researchers are blinded by the study.
Settings and conduct
100 children with a clubfoot who referred to Tabriz Shohada Hospital from March until September 2021 after randomization in two groups of control and intervention are examined in two methods: ponseti and modified ponseti. Apart from the treating surgeon, others are blinded.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
inclusion criteria: ; all children with clubfoot exclusion criteria: ; The age under 3 months and over 2 years ; A history of deformity other than clubfoot in the affected foot ; History of other treatments of clubfoot ; History of other congenital and neuromuscular diseases
Intervention groups
The control group treats with Ponseti method, which includes repeated manipulations of the ankle and the foot and casting, finally an Achilles tenotomy, and 3 weeks of the final casting. The intervention group is treated with a modified Ponseti method so that after the final tenotomy, instead of 3 weeks of casting, they undergo two periods of 3 weeks of casting.
Main outcome variables
range of motion of ankle in all directions Dimeglio and Pirani functional score of foot

Randomization description
Blinding (investigator's opinion)
Double blinded
Blinding description
only the surgeon knows about the study groups the surgeon assigns a code to each patient and divides the patients into two groups called 1 and 2 (that are treated with ponseti or modified ponseti method) after obtaining informed consent from patients, they do not know anything about study groups and therapeutic methods. the researcher who evaluates the therapeutic results ( range of motion of ankle in all directions and Dimeglio and Pirani scores) and the analyzer who analyzes the research results do not know anything about the patient groups and just work with patient codes and group codes.

Primary outcomes

1

Description
Range of motion of ankle
Timepoint
The range of motion of the ankle is measured before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, one month after the intervention, and then at intervals of 3 months to 6 months.
Method of measurement
The range of motion of the ankle in all sections is measured by one person so that the range of motion including Dorsiflexion, plantar flexion, eversion, inversion is measured by goniometer per unit of degree.

2

Description
ankle functional score
Timepoint
The ankle functional score is measured before the intervention, immediately after the intervention, one month after the intervention, and then at intervals of 3 months to 6 months.
Method of measurement
This score is measured by the global systems of Dimeglio and Pirani introduced by scientists of the same name. Each of these systems gives a score based on the appearance of the patient's foot, the condition of the skin folds, the degree of deformity, the range of motion of the ankle in different directions, and the consistency of the deformity, which is compared before and after the intervention.

Secondary outcomes

empty

Intervention groups

1

Description
Control group: This group of patients who suffer from clubfoot are first manipulated and plastered by a surgeon at two-week intervals, and after partial correction, they undergo Achilles tenotomy, after which they are plastered for three weeks. This treatment is called ponseti method, which is currently the most common treatment for clubfoot.

Treatment - Surgery

2

Description
Intervention group: This group of patients who suffer from clubfoot are first manipulated and plastered by the treating surgeon at two-week intervals, and after partial correction, they undergo Achilles tenotomy, after which the cast is performed for three weeks. (As was done in the control group) but after three weeks the plaster is opened and unlike the control group, the manipulation is done again and the plaster is done again for three weeks.
