Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Ponseti method is a conservative and manipulative method that corrects clubfoot or congenital talpes equino varus (CTEV)[1].

Ignacio Ponseti Vives, MD

It was developed by Dr. Ignacio.V.Ponsetti (1943-2009) of the University of Iowa hospital and clinics [2]. This method was developed in response to the complications and poor outcomes which came with surgical management of clubfoot[3].Dr. Ponseti was convinced there was a more efficient and effective way of treating clubfoot this resulted in him studying extensively functional and patho-anatomy of the normal foot and the one which presented with clubfoot[4] .

The Ponseti has become the gold standard of treatment compared to the other interventions because of its better outcomes [1].The use of the Ponsetti has spread worldwide with evidence shown in 113 out 193 united nations member countries.[5]The Ponseti method consist of serial manipulation, casting and tenotomy of the Achilles tendon .Posteromedial medial release may be required in some patients to achieve correction[6]. This is followed by the use of the use of the foot abduction brace to prevent the occurrence of relapse .All these procedures can be divided into two i.e. casting phase which consist of manipulation, casting and tenotomy and maintenance phase which is the use of the foot abduction brace to prevent relapse[7].
