Dec. 23, 2004 — Almost 60 years after it was conceived, Washington

University orthopaedic surgeon B. Dobbs, MD, has revived a

nonsurgical technique to correct talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, a

congenital foot deformity. By combining the venerable procedure with

the latest genetic science and translational research, Dobbs aims to

drastically improve treatment and perhaps eventually reduce the

incidence of the malady.
