The Ponseti technique has become the preferred non-surgical treatment, offering high success rates and reducing the need for surgery. Parental satisfaction, however, is a key determinant of treatment adherence and overall outcomes. This study assessed parental satisfaction with Ponseti treatment at the Plaster Unit of General Hospital, Ilorin, focusing on knowledge, satisfaction levels, and influencing factors. A prospective cross-sectional design was used, involving 88 parents of children receiving Ponseti care. Data were collected via structured questionnaires covering demographics, awareness of clubfoot, satisfaction with treatment, and factors shaping satisfaction. Analysis was conducted using SPSS version 20 with descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that 85% of parents were aware of clubfoot, with health workers and mass media serving as primary information sources. About 70% recognized conservative management as the preferred approach, while 90% were familiar with the Ponseti method. Satisfaction levels were generally high: 68.75% reported being satisfied, 30% were neutral, and only 1.25% expressed dissatisfaction. Influential factors included the attitude of health workers (26.25%), facility location (18.75%), waiting time (26.25%), and prior experience with Ponseti treatment (2.5%). Compliance with treatment instructions, such as brace use and cast care, was also strong. The study concludes that parental satisfaction with the Ponseti method is high, reinforcing its effectiveness in managing clubfoot. Nonetheless, challenges remain in healthcare accessibility and provider communication. Recommendations include strengthening awareness campaigns, improving service accessibility, establishing structured follow-up systems, and enhancing healthcare provider training in communication and patient-centered care ...Preview Download Preview +Other Orthopaedic project topics and materials you might be interested in»Management of fracture clavicle - case study of University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Management of fracture of tibia plateau - case study of University of Ibadan Teaching Hospital»A survey on the uses and effectiveness of oscillating saw in the removal of circular cast at University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital»Attitude, practice, and knowledge of parents concerning clubfoot - case study of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin»Effect and complication of traditional bone setter in management of fracture in General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Developing effective injury prevention and management strategies for athletes participating in high-risk sports - a comprehensive review and guideline»Assessment and outcome of patient following the application of lumbar jacket - case study of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Average number of cast to correct foot following tenotomy at General Hospital Ilorin, Kwara state»Average time of radiological union following non-operative management of the scaphoid fracture - case study of General Hospital, Ilorin»Prevalence and management of osteoporosis of the femur in female in Mubo community, Ilorin, Kwara state»Attitude and belief of UITH staff in management of femoral fracture by orthopedic surgeons or traditional bone setters»Causes and the management of tuberculosis of the spine among adults aged (25-50 years) at General Hospital Ilorin»Patient outcomes following closed reduction and casting for Colles’s fractures - case study of Kwara State University Teaching Hospital, Ilorin, Kwara state»Assessment and management femoral fracture using Hip Spica in children - case of General Hospital Ilorin, Ilorin, Kwara state»Parents satisfaction along with the ponsetti treatment for club foot at the plaster unit of General Hospital Ilorin
