Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV) is the most common congenital musculoskeletal birth defect affecting 1 in 1000 births per annum. We have compared our surgical results to the British Society of Children's Orthopaedics (BSCOS) published guidelines Between, 2006–16, patients who were referred for treatment of pathological CTEV were audited. Data from a combination of Clinical Portal, Orthotic Patient Administration System and Surgical Elogbook were assessed. In addition, the degree of deformity was classified by the Harrold & Walker method at the time of diagnosis (senior author). Most of this information was recorded prospectively and analysed retrospectively. Ponseti technique was the method of treatment.Aims & Background
