Treatment of congenital clubfoot has changed radically with the introduction of Ponseti method in most of the pediatric orthopedic centers worldwide during the last 15 to 20 years. Ponseti first described his treatment regime including abduction bracing and tibialis anterior tendon transfer for the treatment of relapse in 1963,[1] and published a further detailed description in 1972.[2] All recommendations of Ponseti and his colleagues are still valid today and only minor adjustments have been made over the decades. The superior results of his method were reported by Ponseti and his colleagues in various long-term studies.[3–6] According to a review performed in 2011, there is clear evidence that the Ponseti method is the most successful treatment regime available for congenital clubfoot, and reported an initial correction rate of around 90% in most treatments.[7]
