article on Ponseti method from Children's Hospitals

[Guest guest]

FYI ..

an interesting article on the Ponseti method, featuring Dr. Dobbs,

from the website of the National Association of Children's Hospitals:

an excerpt:

" There was a time when a child born with clubfoot faced only the

prospect of major reconstructive surgery to correct the birth defect.

As science evolves and new techniques are discovered and proven,

patients are presented with additional options. Today, a non-

operative technique called the Ponseti method continues to gain wider

acceptance in the correction of congenital talipes equinovarus

(clubfoot). "
