Filter by:The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Saleem's protocol treatment plan for congenital ideopathic talipes equino varus deformity using early tenotomy and serial foot casting. The combined effect of early tenotomies and foot serial casting has not been proven in prior investigations. Ten kids were involved in this pilot study where Saleem's protocol approach was used. With the use of the PIRANI score, the baseline reading was evaluated. Readings were obtained before each cast performance. This study results show's early correction of foot deformity with average 4 to 5 cast and no recurrence.
This study is designed as a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, clinical trial with two parallel groups. This study investigates the association between a single dose of the drug, Clonidine, and the total amount of opioid administered under and 24 hours after surgery in children undergoing orthopedic limb surgery with the use of tourniquet. The investigators hypothesize that administration of clonidine to children undergoing limb surgery with the use of inflatable tourniquets would reduce post-procedural pain. This study is a pilot to obtain an effect size. Based on this the investigators will calculate a sample size for the main trial enabling us to reach a power of 0.8 with a significans level of 0.05.
This study will examine the use of a novel customized Ankle Foot Orthosis (AFO), created using 3D scanning, with children being treated for clubfoot. The AFO is inserted in the standard Mitchell shoe during bracing, following Ponseti casting. The investigators hypothesize that following Ponseti casting, the implementation of customized AFOs with Ponseti bracing will improve patient compliance and functional outcomes as well as lead to fewer relapses in comparison to the standard bracing with Mitchell shoes.
