FORTIS-OLMEDO, IO et al. Adherence to the Ponseti method by family members as a determinant in the success of club foot treatment. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2020, vol.34, n.1, pp.43-46.  Epub Sep 27, 2021. ISSN 2306-4102.

The clubfoot is one of the most common conditions in Pediatric Orthopedics, may affect each part of the foot and ankle, equinus, varus, and internal rotation of the calcaneum, and true equinus of the ankle are common. The Ponseti method is an universally accepted treatment, consisting of three phases: manipulation and plaster, Achilles tendon tenotomy and maintenance phase. The highest percentage of relapses occurs in the maintenance phase and the deficient family member is associated in most cases. We present a clinical case of a patient with typical clubfoot treated with the Ponseti method on four occasions without the need of surgical treatment.
