Abstract

Although clubfoot (Congenital talipesequinovarus) is one of the most common congenital abnormalities affecting the lower limb with an incidence of one to two per 1000 live births, it remains a challenge not only to understand its genetic origins but also to provide effective long-term treatment. Its etiology remains aconundrum. It is increasingly being diagnosed on prenatal ultrasound with implications for prenatal counselling. The aim of the treatment is to obtain a painless and functional foot. Conservative treatment with Ponseti method of clubfoot is well-accepted and has been reported to result in good correction ranging from as low as 50% to as high as 90%. Surgical treatment is indicated only after failure of conservative methods, with limited release also known as “a la carte†release.
