NCT ID NCT07561697

First seen May 06, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study looks at 44 children aged 2-5 with untreated clubfoot to compare two surgical methods: a small cut to release the Achilles tendon (PAT) versus a longer cut to lengthen it (TAL). The goal is to see which approach improves ankle movement and has fewer side effects like bleeding or infection. Results will help doctors choose the best treatment for older children with clubfoot.
