This study assesses improvements in foot deformity among adolescent and adult patients with idiopathic and acquired CFD treated with serial casting as a presurgical correction strategy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective cohort study encompassing 58 skeletally mature patients (78\u2009feet) with idiopathic or acquired CFD treated with a modified PM between 2020 and 2024 was conducted. Patients were categorized by etiology, and deformity severity in cavus, varus, adductus, and equinus was documented at baseline, after casting, and postoperatively. Analysis of variance and Tukey honestly significant difference test assessed changes over time. Postoperative and casting complications, relapses, and Foot and Ankle Outcome Score (FAOS) were reported at final follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Twenty-eight patients with idiopathic CFD and 30 with acquired CFD were studied. After casting, 95% (55\/58) required additional procedures. A plantigrade foot was achieved in 89% (69\/78). Seventy-seven percent (60\/78) of feet required procedures in addition to Achilles tenotomy. Improvements across all deformity planes were attributable to serial casting (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.001), and postoperatively, equinus improved significantly (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.04 and\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u2009.01) in both groups. Casting-related injuries needing wound care occurred in 8.9% (7\/78). After a median follow-up of 17\u2009months, 13% (10\/78) experienced relapse. Postoperative complications included 1 wound dehiscence and 1 case of stiffness.
