Dimeglio’s derotation of calcaneo pedal block and Pirani’s talar head reduction: a quantitative matching

We aimed to determine the quantitative value of derotation of calcaneo pedal block (DCPB) of Dimeglio system equivalent to talar head reduction of Pirani system. We also compared the ankle dorsiflexion obtained post tenotomy for different measures of DCPB. The study involved 53 idiopathic clubfoot children (86 feet) treated with Ponseti technique. Percutaneous Achilles tenotomy to correct ankle equinus was performed when forefoot adduction, heel varus were corrected and ankle dorsiflexion was
