Summary
This study tests whether applying Mastisol, a liquid adhesive, during clubfoot casting helps babies with clubfeet get better faster and with fewer problems. Researchers will compare outcomes like how many weeks of casting are needed and how often complications like sores or swelling occur. The trial involves 100 infants starting treatment before 12 weeks old, with follow-up for up to 5 years.
