Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I am searching for any studies that highlight the long term results of the Ponseti Method. My husband was born with 2 club feet and now, at the age of 42 is having difficulties with his left foot. My daughter, 12 months old, was born with 2 club feet as well and we are using the Ponseti method to correct them. My husband and I want to help our daughter as she gets older. We would like to find ways to avoid (if possible) foot problems when she get to be 40, 50, etc….. Any comments? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 a, You'll probably need to copy and paste these URLs into your browser. A comparative study (Ponseti vs. traditional casting and surgery/ies) is abstraced at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=12851354&itool=iconabstr This 1980 study from Dr Ponseti seems to imply that his patients wound up happy with their feet even though the feet don't look quite normal on x-ray. Abstract at: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=7351412 Another study out of Iowa City, this one from 1996, compares adult feet treated by the Ponseti method with adult feet free from congenital deformity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi? cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=7593056 I'm planning some day to spend time in a medical library with the studies themselves. Until then , I do hope this helps some. Because I'm curious, who is treating your daughter?
