SUMMARY

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of Saleem's protocol treatment plan for congenital ideopathic talipes equino varus deformity using early tenotomy and serial foot casting. The combined effect of early tenotomies and foot serial casting has not been proven in prior investigations. Ten kids were involved in this pilot study where Saleem's protocol approach was used. With the use of the PIRANI score, the baseline reading was evaluated. Readings were obtained before each cast performance. This study results show's early correction of foot deformity with average 4 to 5 cast and no recurrence.

Treatments
Experimental: Saleem's intervention
Early tenotomies and serial casting were used in Saleem's technique to reduce foot deforming forces. It involved 2 principal tenotmies and 2 accessory tenotmies. Principal tenotmies include tendo achillies and planter fascia release. 2 Accessory tenotmies include tibialis posterior and abductor hallucis. All tenotmies are done under local anesthesia.The foot is placed in a serial cast close to its natural anatomical position following tenotomies at first visit. children are evaluated after 1 week.This technique necessitates 4 to 5 casts on average. DB shoes were advised when the foot casting was finished, and a 6-month follow-up with the patient was conducted.
