Ponseti method

Ponseti method
a technique for correcting clubfoot by weekly manipulation and casting, lasting 5–6 weeks, followed by maintenance with a foot abduction orthosis to prevent recurrence; a percutaneous tenotomy is usually performed before the final casting to lengthen the Achilles tendon and prevent development of a rocker-bottom foot deformity.
