During treatment in the district hospital, the deformity was reduced by thirty percent by applying plaster in the first month, after which it was decided to operate. After that, an operation was performed and an external CTEV mesh was fitted in the leg, which was tightened for twenty-five days while being kept under constant surveillance. In this process, the disability of the victimized teenager was successfully completely cured and the Pirani score became zero.
