Abstract

Introduction : Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), also known as clubfoot, is a common congenital orthopedic condition characterized by an excessive arch of the foot (equinovarus) and a high medial longitudinal arch (cavus). The cause of congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is unknown. Clubfoot affects one in 1,000 babies born worldwide, and the prevalence varies by geographic region.

 

Objective: The purpose of this review was to conduct a systematic review of the literature to learn about the conventional management techniques used in CTEV.

 

Methodology: Without any date restriction, we conducted a February 2024–April 2024 English search on PubMed and Google Scholar. We did not omit any data sources and gave systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials priority.

 

Results and conclusion: Although all three methods discussed in this review showed effective results in the treatment of CTEV, the Ponseti method was comparatively better received and showed fewer relapses.
