Abstract

The Ponseti method has become the gold standard for the treatment of clubfoot. It is very safe, efficient, economical, and easy to teach, and it radically decreases the need for extensive corrective surgeries. Awareness of the excellent results provided by the Ponseti method is essential for counseling and providing treatment advice to the families of children born with this deformity.
