METHODS:A total of 48 patients with congenital talipes equinovarus(60 feet)(5 days -6 months) in the Department of Orthopaedics,Shanghai Children’s Medical Center,from January 2000 to May 2003,were given conservative treatment.Successive plaster reshaping and subcutaneous achillotenotomy was performed with Posenti method.All patients wore foot abductor splint with the course of 2 years.The first 3 months was full time wearing and the others only sleeping time wearing. RESULTS:All cases were followed up(with the mean follow up period of 14.68 months).Results were satisfactory from the evaluation of X ray and clinical situation. Dimglio score type:46 cases were Type Ⅰ,and 2 cases were TypeⅡa.The age when the manipulation and cast started,the maximum dorsiflexion of the ankle when the splint was started,and the period of the full time wearing in the changes of data in X ray imaging were not related to each other.However,the age when the splint was started was significantly associated with the maximum dorsiflexion of the ankle and the tibio calcaneal angle.CONCLUSION:The foot abductor splint is an indispensably important part for conservative treatment of congenital talipes euinovarus,and is effective to prevent the relapse and maintain good clinical results.展开更多
