Helping Tiny Steps Get Bigger: Clubfoot (CTEV) Treatment at Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore, we understand the concerns parents face when their child is diagnosed with congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), also known as clubfoot. This birth defect affects the position of the foot, causing it to be turned inward and downward. However, with early diagnosis and proper treatment, most children with CTEV can achieve normal foot development and function.

Understanding Clubfoot (CTEV):

CTEV is a common condition affecting approximately 1 in 1,000 births. It can affect one or both feet and can vary in severity. Symptoms include:

The foot being turned inward and pointed downwards
A shortened Achilles tendon
A stiff ankle joint

Treatment for Clubfoot (CTEV) at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we offer a comprehensive approach to CTEV treatment, emphasizing early intervention and minimizing the need for surgery. Our treatment options include:

The Ponseti method: This non-surgical technique involves gentle stretching and manipulation of the foot, followed by casting to hold the corrected position. This process is typically repeated weekly for several months.
Bracing: Once the foot is in the correct position, special braces are used to maintain the correction and prevent relapse.
Surgery: In some cases, where the Ponseti method is not successful or the deformity is severe, surgery may be necessary to release tight muscles and tendons and improve the foot’s alignment.

Benefits of Choosing Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

Experienced pediatric specialists: Our team comprises highly trained specialists who understand the unique challenges of treating CTEV in children.
Early intervention focus: We prioritize early diagnosis and treatment to maximize the effectiveness of non-surgical methods and minimize the need for surgery.
Compassionate care: We understand the emotional aspects of a child’s condition and strive to create a comfortable and reassuring environment for both children and parents.
Family-centered approach: We involve parents in every step of the treatment plan, providing clear explanations and addressing any concerns you may have.

Hospitalization Care for Clubfoot (CTEV) Treatment:

Hospitalization is typically not required for the initial stages of treatment using the Ponseti method. However, some aspects may involve short hospital stays:

Casting changes: Your child may need brief stays for initial casting and subsequent follow-up casting appointments.
Surgery (if needed): If surgery is necessary, your child will likely stay in the hospital for a few days for post-operative monitoring and pain management.

Long-Term Care and Follow-Up:

Following treatment, regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor progress and ensure the correction is maintained. Depending on the severity of the case, bracing may be worn for several years.

  Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable.

My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us.

When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds.

During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery.

What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours.

Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family.

To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
