Introduction

The Ponseti regime was introduced in Swansea in 2003 for the treatment of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV). The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to compare children treated with this regime with a historical group treated traditionally before then.

Materials and Methods

Sixty children (89 feet) were treated with the Ponseti regime between 2003 and 2010. Their notes were compared with notes from 12 children (21 feet) treated between 1995 and 2002. Clinic attendance for serial manipulation and immobilisation (strap/cast) was compared using a two-tailed Mann Whitney U test. Major release surgery was compared using a two-tailed Fisher's Exact test.
