Ponseti Method of Idiopathic Clubfoot Treatment
Zlatko Anguelov (in collaboration with Fred Dietz, MD) XX History
Treatment of idiopathic clubfoot is surgical or manipulative. Despite long-term experience in many centers, there still are outcome controversies surrounding both alternatives. Controversies persist because of lack of a) standards for evaluating functional outcomes, rendering comparisons between treatment groups problematic, and b) long-term follow-up studies of surgically treated clubfeet. The longest published follow-up is the 30-year follow-up of 45 patients (with 71 clubfeet; average age 34 years) treated with the Ponseti method of manipulation and casting at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics between 1950 and 1967.

In the UK, the medical term for clubfoot is Congenital Talipes Equinovarus. 'Congenital' means a deformity that is present at birth, and 'Talipes' means simply the foot and ankle. 'Equinovarus' refers to the position of the foot, which points downwards and inwards. Talipes can involve both feet or just one, and is present at birth. There are other forms of the condition, where the front of the foot turns upwards, or the foot turns outwards, but the above form of talipes occurs most frequently. It is a condition that has been known about for many years, and occurs worldwide, but very little is known about the cause. There is considerable evidence that the condition can be hereditary, and it is more common in boys than girls.

Our Clubfoot Story
Updated 5-30-04 Welcome to our page! Our daughter was born with a right clubfoot, the most common birth defect. (Approximately 100,000 children worldwide are born with clubfoot each year, which is about 1 in 1,000 births).
She did not receive any treatment until six weeks of age. Many children are treated within days. Her first pediatric orthopedist put on a short cast without manipulating the foot and gave us no information. Fortunately, her next doctor was just starting to use the non-surgical Ponseti method. The Cast Tech had just returned from training with Dr. P himself! Our daughter was their first Ponseti method patient! Her foot was corrected quickly and perfectly.
Fortunately, we found an internet listserv (see link below) with nearly 500 parents whose children have been through the same thing, so I was able to learn the ins and outs of what to expect from this treatment at each stage.
Unfortunately, many doctors are not following the method as prescribed, including the new doctor. For example, our daughter wore the Foot Abduction Brace (FAB) (pictured below) full time for 5 months instead of the usual 3, so we switched to a more experienced doctor (Dr. Herzenberg) farther away although our daughter is nearly done with treatment. This is something many parents have had to do.
She has less than 9 months left of wearing the DBB at nighttime. (Most children use the bar until age 3 or 4. The majority of relapses occur between 2 and 2 1/2 years old.) We can see the light at the end of the tunnel! It has been so worth the journey to avoid extensive surgeries that do not always have a good long term outcome.

The Bruner's Clubfoot Reference Page Clubfoot. We knew nothing about club foot. At our 19 week ultrasound we were expecting to find out if we were having a boy or a girl when we learned that our son was likely to have club foot, bilaterally. We were thinking, "No, this can't be." However, with today's ultrasound, diagnoses by a perinatologist are pretty accurate. Clubfeet are usually not evident and likely do not occur until somewhere between 18-20 weeks in utero. We went to God in prayer for the health of our baby and also began to research clubfoot.
Here is what we found:
Clubfoot is the most common congenital abnormality second only to cleft lip. It occurs somewhere between 1 in 750 and 1 in 1000 births. Clubfeet can be isolated but often present with other abnormalities such as congenital heart defects, hip dysplasia or spina bifida. In the hands of a knowledgable practioner, isolated club foot is easily treatable. Patients have an excellent prognosis with a strong likelihood they will be able to lead a normal, healthy life.

Please keep in mind that I have no medical training and the following information has been gleaned from other sources. I am just a Mom of a son with clubfoot.
What is Clubfoot? Clubfoot or talipes is a congenital deformity of the foot that occurs in approximately 1:1000 births with half of them being bi-lateral (both feet) and it is twice as common in boys as in girls. The foot has a typical appearance of pointing downwards and twisted inwards. Since the condition starts in the first trimester of pregnancy, the deformity is quite established at birth, and is often very rigid.
There are three main types of defects:
  • Equinovarus - This is the most severe type. The foot is twisted inward and downward so that the child cannot place the sole flat on the ground but must walk on the ball, the side, or even the top of the foot.

Previous Next ... Our Story Welcome to Jakob's Clubfoot Page This is Jakob right after he was born on February 9, 1998. Notice how his feet turn in. This is called Clubfoot or Talipes Equinovarus. Here are Jakob's feet when he was 1 week old. At this point, he had already had one set of casts on and was waiting to see his orthopedic, Dr. Weinstein, in a couple of days. Dr. Weinstein uses the Ponseti Method, which uses casts and a special brace to correct clubfeet non-surgically.
This is Jakob with the first set of casts that Dr. Weinstein had put on. During the cast changes, his feet would be manipulated into a more normal position then recasted. The casts were changed once a week to give the tendons and ligaments a chance to adjust to the new position. With each set of casts, Jakob's feet looked more and more normal. This is Jakob in his last set of casts. Before this set of casts were put on, Dr. Weinstein performed a percutaneous tenotomy on Jakob's Achille's tendons. For this in-office procedure, Jakob had his heels numbed with Lidocaine and a small scalpel was used to gently cut the tendons in his heels to allow the heel bones to drop down where they are supposed to be. The Achille's tendons repaired themselves while this set of casts were on.

Introduction Treatment of residual or resistant clubfoot in an older child is one of the most difficult problems in paediatric orthopaedics. The residual deformity may take many forms and there are as yet no clear cut guidelines for treatment. The exact deformities must be determined to decide the proper surgical treatment. The basic surgical correction of resistant clubfoot includes soft tissue release, osteotomies, bone resection, arthrodesis and talectomy. More recently, new procedures such as distraction with or without soft tissue procedures and osteotomies are being described. Common components of resistant clubfoot deformity are adduction or supination, or both, of the forefoot, a short medial column or long lateral column of the foot, internal rotation and varus of the hindfoot and equinus of the ankle. Traditional methods of correction of foot deformities in the older child and adult may require extensive bone resection with significant stiffness and shortening of the foot. In fact, with severe multidirectional deformities, correction may simply be impossible without so much shortening that correction becomes inappropriate.

Quick Reference and Fact Sheets Clubfoot and Other Foot Deformities
Clubfoot is a word used to describe certain ankle and foot abnormalities usually present at birth. The defect can be mild or severe and it can involve one foot or both. The medical term for clubfoot is equinovarus. There also are a number of other milder foot deformities that may appear similar.
How common is clubfoot?
Clubfoot is one of the most common birth defects. Severe forms of clubfoot affect some 5,000 babies (about 1 in 735) born in the United States each year. Boys are affected with severe forms of clubfoot twice as often as girls. Mild foot deformities are even more common, with both sexes affected in approximately equal numbers. How does clubfoot affect a child? An affected foot points downward, with the toes turned inward and the bottom of the foot twisted inward. If both feet are "clubbed," the toes point toward each other instead of straight ahead. The foot bones, ankle joints, and muscles and ligaments of the foot may be abnormal. The heel cord often is very tight, making it impossible to bring the foot up to a normal position without a specialist’s help.

What is a clubfoot?
The term "clubfoot" refers to a foot that points downward, the toes turn inward, and the bottom of the foot faces inward. The foot is positioned this way when the baby is born and so it is called a "congenital clubfoot." Clubfoot sometimes occurs along with other birth defects, but usually it is the only problem the child has. The doctor takes an X-ray to see how the bones in the foot are shaped. Sometimes a baby's foot is turned inward but the bones are shaped normally, and the foot can be gently pulled into a normal position. This can be caused by the baby's position inside the mother's womb. This kind of foot, called a postural clubfoot, may correct without any treatment or with casting for several weeks. The doctor may say that the baby "will grow out of it." In a true clubfoot the bones are not shaped normally and the foot seems to be "stuck" somewhat in its position. This kind of foot may need surgery.
How often does clubfoot happen?
