BACKGROUND: Achilles tenotomy (AT) forms an important aspect of Ponseti's casting method and is performed in 80-90% of idiopathic clubfoot cases to correct residual hindfoot equinus. Different techniques are described in the literature with no clarity on which method is superior. This review aims to analyse the various techniques described, anaesthesia preferences, and outcomes of AT.METHODS: We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Ovid MEDLINE for articles describing idiopathic clubfoot cases undergoing primary AT during Ponseti's casting method. Data were extracted from eligible studies for qualitative and quantitative synthesis. The repeat tenotomy and complication rates were taken as outcome parameters.RESULTS: Nineteen studies were included for systematic review. A percutaneous AT using a scalpel or needle is adequate in most cases and shows promising results. The out-patient department (OPD) tenotomies under local anaesthesia (LA) and operation room (OR) tenotomies under general anaesthesia (GA) were associated with a repeat tenotomy (RT) rate of 2.5% (95%CI,0.4-5.4%) and 0.8% (95%CI, 0-1.6%), respectively. The difference between OPD and OR groups was not statistically significant (p=0.875). The pooled analysis shows a failure/relapse rate of 4.2% (1.9-6.4%, p
