Comparing Mastisol bandage for clubfoot casting
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two types of sticky bandage (Mastisol vs. standard) used during Ponseti casting for babies with clubfoot in both feet. It aims to see which one works better for keeping the casts on and preventing skin problems.
