Abstract
Introduction
Congenital Talipes Equino Vares (CTEV) is a very commonly detected anomaly, charecterised by a wide spectrum of varying deformity. Milder deformities are amenable to non operative treatment by plaster of paris cast while more severe abnormalities require surgical correction. While the classical surgical correction by posteromedial soft tissue release (Turco’s operation) is required in selected cases, many cases are now manged by the Ponsetti’s technique.
Aims
To critically review and analyse the early outcome of Turco’s One Stage Posteromedial Soft tissue release for CTEV in infancy.
Materials and Methods
A combined retrospective and prospective analysis of selected cases of CTEV operated between Jan 2011 to Jan 2015 at Department of Paediatric Surgery, SAT Hospital, Govt Medical College, Thiruvananthapuram and IMCH, Govt Medical College, Kozhikode.
