Abstract
Clubfoot is one of the most common disabilities in worldwide among infants. It is estimated that more than 35,000 children are born with clubfoot every year in India. Clubfoot refers to one or both feet rotated in or out from the midline position. Correction of clubfoot at an early stage, helps the child to walk normally, without correction, a child may walk on the lateral or dorsal side of the foot, which in turn causes an issue with walking. The most common clubfoot deformity is talipes eqvinovarus. Talipes eqvinovarus is a birth defect in which foot and ankle are rotated away from the normal position and foot is pointed downward. The treatment of clubfoot varies depending on the severity of condition. Gentle manipulation and casting is traditional approach to treat the clubfoot, in some cases minor surgery is done to correct the position of the foot. The widely accepted treatment for clubfoot deformity in infants is the Ponseti technique. In last 20 years many research studies across the world have proved that more than 90% of cases of idiopathic clubfoot deformities are treated effectively with the Ponseti technique. Ponseti technique is a simple, cost-effective treatment and now it has become treatment of choice for clubfoot.
