Clubfoot Resources

The gold standard of current Clubfoot treatment is …

Treatment without surgery using serial plaster casting of effected foot or feet every week in a dedicated clinic, till the foot is sucessfully corrected and then using a brace shoe to maintain correction untill the child starts walking…

This method was developed and established by Dr Ignacio Ponsetti working at the University of Iowa. The Ponsetti Method represented a fundamental change in the treatment of the condition which previously had relied solely on surgical intervention.
