The Ponseti method for clubfoot correction has demonstrated excellent results. However, relapses are common and continue to be the most important problem facing clubfoot practitioners. Relapses usually require repeated casting and/or surgical intervention with tibialis anterior tendon transfer (TATT). However, recent data on relapses suggest that performing a successful TATT may not be a definitive cure as there may be other processes, such as neuromuscular deficits, that may result in subsequent relapses.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 April 2015.
All research outputs
#16,579,551
of 25,373,627 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics
#1,112
of 2,394 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#167,656
of 250,101 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics
#7
of 32 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,373,627 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,394 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 52% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 250,101 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 32nd percentile – i.e., 32% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 32 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
