Comparing two surgeries for foot curve in children with clubfoot
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This study compares two surgical methods to correct a remaining inward curve of the front part of the foot in children who have already been treated for clubfoot. The goal is to find which surgery gives better results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 5 and 10 years old
- Your child has been diagnosed with clubfoot that came back after previous treatment
- Your child still has a noticeable inward curve in the front part of the foot
- The foot curve is not flexible (cannot be straightened by hand)
- Your child's clubfoot is not due to other conditions like spina bifida or muscle disorders

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 trial compares two types of small implants (screws and plates) placed on the growth plate of the knee to gradually straighten the leg in growing children. The goal is to correct knee deformities like bowed legs or knock knees using a less invasive surgical method that guides growth.
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.
