  Purpose

Purpose:

The purpose of the study is to complete a cost analysis of the different methods used for clubfoot treatment.

Objectives:

Short-term objective: To explore the experience of British Columbia Children's Hospital (BCCH) with costs and outcomes related to the various forms of clubfoot management since 1984 to present.

Long-term objective: To use the information gathered in this project and apply it to future studies in the clubfoot research program and to do a complete cost-benefit analysis.

Hypothesis: The hypothesis of the study is that the BCCH clubfoot treatment program has better outcomes in terms of reduced financial costs than the traditional surgical management.
