Percutaneous Tenotomies for Talipes Equinovarus.
J Surg Pak Jan ;6(4):16-8.

A two-year prospective study was conducted at the National Institute of Child Health, Karachi, from January 1999 to December 2000. Multiple percutaneous tenotomies were done in neonates with various degrees of talipes equinovarus (TEV). The aims were to correct feet with mild to moderate deformities and to render the feet with rigid TEV more pliable with ample skin for corrective surgery at a later date. The results were good in 80 feet with moderate deformity and satisfactory in 12 cases that had moderately rigid feet. There were unsatisfactory results in 20 cases that had severely rigid feet.
