Patients who present with atypical foot pain in a non specific sensory distribution may benefit from having nerve conduction studies (NCS). The aim of this study was to confirm whether NCS is a useful tool. Between July 2005 and March 2011, 78 patients had NCS to investigate foot pain. The management following NCS was compared with the initial management plan.Introduction
Methods
The Ponseti regime was introduced in Swansea in 2003 for the treatment of congenital 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.Introduction
