Abstract :

 Background:– Idiopathic clubfoot can be managed by the technique described by Ponseti in infants which requires lot of passion and compliance of the patients. We used a different midway technique of percutaneous release of flexor hallucis longus for the management of moderate clubfoot. 

Material and methods :– In 19 children, total 30 clubfoot with moderate type of deformity, were treated with this procedure. Assessment of results was done by compå preoperative and 3 weeks postoperative Pirani scores. Results and Conclusion:– Our results were excellent in 16.7% cases, good to fair in 83.3 % cases. None of our cases had any intra–op and post–op complication. This per–cutaneous flexor hallucis longus releases technique is having easy learning curve by which we can treat moderate type of clubfoot in less time and cost with good to excellent outcome.
