Comparing foot surgeries for children with residual clubfoot curve
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two types of foot surgery for children who still have an inward curve of the front of the foot after previous clubfoot treatment. The goal is to find a better way to straighten the foot and improve walking.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 5 and 10 years old.
- Your child must have been born with clubfoot and had treatment before.
- The front part of your child's foot still turns inward (residual metatarsal adductus).
- Your child's foot should not be able to be gently straightened into a normal position.

This study compares two ways of treating club foot (a condition where a baby's foot is twisted inward at birth) using casts: a faster method and the traditional method. It will measure which approach works better using X-rays to see how well the foot straightens.
This study compares two ways to treat clubfoot in babies: one using the French method alone, and the other adding a brace. It aims to see which approach helps better without surgery.
This study looks at treatment for children with clubfoot (a foot that turns inward or upward). If you speak Spanish, the study may be easier to join and could help doctors improve how clubfoot is treated.
This study examines a specific foot surgery (subtalar arthrodesis with a bone block) designed to correct progressive collapsing foot deformity. Researchers will use advanced imaging to measure how well the surgery corrects the foot's alignment and function.
This study compares two surgical approaches to lengthen the Achilles tendon (the cord at the back of the heel) in young children with clubfoot—a condition where the foot is twisted inward and downward. The goal is to find which method works better and causes fewer complications.
This study looks at how certain leg muscles move to see if that can predict how well an Achilles tenotomy (a small procedure to release tight tendon) works for children with idiopathic clubfoot. It may help doctors choose the best timing and approach for treatment.
