Treatment of Clubfoot children by Ponseti method of serial casting is a well know procedure being practiced all over the world. During Covid times many children were not able to attend their regular CTEV clinics at various places leading to inadequate treatment of this deformity. This not only causes relapses but may also lead to the permanent disability. The fear of permanent disability of these children motivated us to create awareness among the parents regarding this and hence bringing them back to CTEV clinics on regular basis.
