Demographic data, clinical features and treatment outcomes were extracted from clinic records. The primary outcome measure was the final Pirani score (clubfoot severity measure) after manipulation and casting. Secondary outcomes included change in Pirani score (pre\u2010treatment to end of casting), number of casts for correction, proportion receiving tenotomy and proportion lost to follow up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 218 children (337 feet) were eligible for inclusion. The median age at treatment was 8 months; 173 children (268 feet) completed casting treatment within the study period. The mean length of time for corrective treatment was 10.2 weeks (9.5\u201310.9 weeks). Of the 45 children who did not complete treatment, 28 were under treatment and 17 were lost to follow up. A Pirani score of 1 or less was achieved in 85% of feet. Mean Pirani score at presentation was 3.80 (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content> 1.15) and post\u2010treatment 0.80 (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SD<\/jats:styled-content> 0.56, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2010value &lt;0.0001).
