Treatment Options
Ponseti Serial Casting
Weekly plaster casts from birth progressively correct all components of CTEV — cavus, adductus, varus, equinus. 5–8 casts typically needed.
Percutaneous Achilles Tenotomy
Small-needle Achilles release under local anaesthesia — corrects the residual equinus. Final long leg cast for 3 weeks.
Foot Abduction Brace (FAB)
Denis-Browne bar worn 23 hr/day for 3 months, then at night until age 4 — essential for preventing relapse.
Tibialis Anterior Transfer (TATT)
For relapse with dynamic supination in children over 3 — transfers the overactive TA tendon to the third cuneiform.
