Foot Deformities
Conditions
Brief summary
Real-life, observational, monocentric, ambispective study, carried out in France. The aim of the study is to evaluate the success rate of orthopedic management of the Z-foot after at least 9 months of follow-up.
Detailed description
The study will include a single prospective data collection, which will make it possible to obtain prospective clinical data at the longest follow-up after treatment, with a minimum follow-up of 9 months. This collection will be done during a visit to the office or a phone call, depending on the preference of patients and their parents. Early data (before the intervention, immediately after, and at 3 months of follow-up) will be collected retrospectively in medical records.

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
* Child having presented a congenital idiopathic malformation uni- or bilateral of foot in Z, defined by the presence of an angular adduction of the mid-forefoot and a dorsolateral hump; * Orthopedic treatment with femoropedic plasters and slotted splints in 1st intention, having started at least 9 months before inclusion; * Child aged 6 months to 2 years at the start of care; * Authorization of the parents or the legal representative of the child to collect personal information about their child.
Exclusion criteria
* Child having presented a secondary Z foot; * History of foot surgery; * Lack of retrospective data to assess the convexity of the external edge of the foot before orthopedic care; * Inability of the parents or the child's legal representative to understand the study protocol.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The main criterion of the study is the success rate of orthopedic management of the Z-foot. | 9 months | Success is a composite criterion, measured at the last follow-up, defined by: * Outer edge of the straight foot; AND * Absence of dorsolateral hump OR possibility of putting on shoes without difficulty AND * Absence of recurrence of the malformation OR resumption of surgery OR resumption of orthopedic treatment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Moderate success rate of the procedure | 9 months | Defined by an external edge of the foot that is not rectilinear but the possibility of normal footwear, at the greatest distance (relative to the number of feet treated) |
| Partial and total success rate (relative to the number of patients treated) | 9 months | * Total success rate: (number of patients with unilateral involvement and foot treated successfully + number of patients with bilateral involvement and both feet treated successfully) / total number of patients. * Partial success rate in patients with bilateral involvement: number of patients with only one of the 2 feet treated successfully / number of patients with bilateral involvement. |
| Convex angle of the outer edge of the foot during follow-up | 9 months | The evolution of the convexity angle of the external edge of the foot will be studied during treatment and follow-up, in a mixed model with repeated measurements, with the initial severity of the malformation as a cofactor (angle ≤ 15 ° /\> 15 ° ). |
