High-Yield Explanation
Ans. is 'b' i.e., 1-3 years PMSTR: Posteromedial Soft tissue release:* It is the soft tissue surgical treatment for Congenital TalipesEquinovarus.* The results of early operation for treatment of congentialtalipesequino varus, in particular neonatal surgery, have not been shown to be better than those of late surgery.* Delaying surgery until the child is near walking age has the advantage of operating of larger foot (making surgery easier).* Posteromedial soft tissue release (PMSTR), (Turcos) is best done at young age (1-3 years).* Posterior release or complete subtalar release can also be performed.* But in children older than 3 years of age lateral column shortening procedures are often performed in conjunction with posteromedial soft tissue release.
