Ponseti method casting is a non-surgical technique that uses gentle manipulation and a series of casts(serial casting) to gradually correct the clubfoot deformity.
Extensive research, including studies in the Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, shows success rates exceeding 90%, making it the gold standard for treating idiopathic clubfoot worldwide.

Supporting Research

Bracing is required for several years to maintain correction.

Supporting Research

  • Review studies recommend bracing until 4–5 years of age to prevent relapse.
  • Long-term analyses show that relapse can still occur over time, reinforcing the need for extended bracing protocols.

Ankle Foot Orthotic(AFO) Bracing (foot abduction brace and bar) is essential after correction and directly impacts recurrence rates. The brace is designed to keep the heel and foot in the correct position inside the AFO and the bar provides the external rotation and foot abduction.

Supporting Research

  • A study found that brace non-compliance increased recurrence risk 32-fold, making adherence the most critical factor.
  • Additional research confirms that bracing is essential to long-term success following Ponseti treatment.
