Clinical Trial: Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Tenotomy vs Tendo-Achilles Lengthening (TAL) in Neglected Clubfoot Children.

U.S., May 2 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07561697) titled 'Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Tenotomy vs Tendo-Achilles Lengthening (TAL) in Neglected Clubfoot Children.' on April 24.

Brief Summary: Achilles tendon tenotomy is the established worldwide gold standard for correcting idiopathic clubfoot. However, in neglected cases, surgical interventions such as percutaneous Achilles tendon tenotomy (PAT) and open tendo-Achilles lengthening (TAL) are common techniques for correcting this deformity. This study aimed at determining the functional outcomes of Percutaneous Achilles Tendon Tenotomy (PAT) vs tendo-Achilles Lengthening (TAL) in the neglected clubfoot children of age 2-5 years.
