The goal is to evaluate the effectiveness of the serial casting by Ponseti method for the treatment of club feet. Cross-sectional research design. Location: Orthopaedics Department, Chirayu Medical College and hospitals, Bhopal. Timeframe: from March 2022 to December 2022. Methods & Materials:- The research included all patients with clubfoot who visited the orthopaedics department. The Pirani scoring method was used to categorize patients before manipulation and once-weekly above-knee casts were applied. After the fourth to sixth plaster, equinus was evaluated, and if necessary, a percutaneous tenotomy was performed. After the final plaster was removed, patients were monitored for a further six months. In SPSS Version 25, all the data was input and examined.Results: The patients' median age was 37 weeks. 27 infants under the age of six months, five between six and twelve months, and nine between one and two years were among the total 41 patients. 25 of the 41 kids had unilateral participation, and 16 had bilateral involvement. There were 41 kids, of which 26 were boys and 15 were girls. In our research, an average number of casts was 6.290.93. The mean Pirani score using the 10-point Pirani scoring method was 3.460.515 at baseline and 0.03170.130 after treatment, respectively. 82% of the results were excellent, 12% were acceptable, and 4% were only fair. Conclusion: The Ponseti technique is dependable and efficient. Our study's findings are positive and satisfying, and our institute can use them to treat all clubfeet.
