Abstract :

Although the Ponseti method has been effective in club foot patients up to 2 years old, limited information is available on the use of this method in older patients. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 36 patients (62 feet) to determine whether initial correction of the deformity (a plantigrade foot) could be achieved using the Ponseti method in untreated idiopathic clubfeet in patients presenting between the ages of 2 and 7years. Although all patients achieved a plantigrade foot,We intend a followup study to ascertain whether the correction is maintained.
