Ultrasound maps hidden nerves in clubfoot babies to make surgery safer
NCT ID NCT07473908
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will use ultrasound to measure the distance between the Achilles tendon and nearby nerves and blood vessels in both feet of 40 infants with unilateral clubfoot. By comparing the clubfoot to the normal foot, researchers hope to give surgeons better guidance to avoid accidental nerve injury during corrective surgery.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help surgeons avoid nerve damage during clubfoot surgery by providing precise anatomical measurements.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study (40 infants) that only measures distances—it does not test a treatment or directly improve outcomes.
