| dc.description.abstract | Clubfoot is a common foot deformity found in babies. The main aim of treatment is to make the foot look and function normally, without causing any pain. The Ponsetti method is the most widely used treatment, which has a success rate of 92%. However, about one-third of cases may experience relapse. In such cases, Tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT) is recommended for those above the age of three. Literature is scarce on the functional and clinical outcomes of TATT and the interplay between the two. Furthermore, factors which lead to poor outcomes are largely unexplored. Two cost-effective outcome assessment tools are the Oxford Ankle Foot Questionnaire and the Pirani/Bohm/Sinclair (PBS) score. | |
