Does initial Pirani score and age influence number of Ponseti casts in children? [PDF]
The prediction of number of casts in the Ponseti method has always remained a subject of interest. We investigated the correlation of the number of casts before tenotomy with the age and initial Pirani score in Ponseti treatment of club foot.Inclusion criteria were idiopathic clubfeet corrected by Ponseti method requiring tenotomy for equinus ...

Determinants of Improvement in Foot Bimalleolar Angle, Pirani Score, and Recurrence in Clubfoot Patients Treated With the Ponseti Technique. [PDF]
Foot bimalleolar angle (FBM angle) and Pirani score are recognized as assessment and prognostic tools for objective assessment of clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus, or CTEV) treatment. The present study proposed to study various factors that determine the improvement in FBM angle and Pirani score in patients treated by the Ponseti technique.This
