Summary

This trial compares two surgical tools—a standard surgical blade and a special ophthalmic knife—for cutting the Achilles tendon in children aged 2 to 5 with clubfoot. The goal is to see which tool improves ankle movement more and causes fewer problems like bleeding or infection. About 102 children will take part.
