1. Analysis of biomechanical parameters in the locomotion of children clubfeet / Análise de parâmetros biomecânicos na locomoção de crianças portadoras de pé torto congênito
Idiopathic clubfoot is the most prevalent congenital deformity in orthopedics. Locomotion studies in children with such a deformity can help towards better rehabilitation. The aim of this study was to analyze the gait and countermovement jump biomechanics, and to describe the perception threshold in children with congenital clubfoot who have been surgically

3. Beta-catenin Mediates Soft Tissue Contracture in Clubfoot
The contracted tissues from clubfeet resemble tissues from other fibroproliferative disorders such as palmar fibromatosis. Beta-catenin-mediated signaling is a crucial pathway controlling the fibroproliferative response in many fibroproliferative disorders. To determine if beta-catenin signaling plays a role in clubfoot, contracted and less contracted tissue

4. Correction of Arthrogrypotic Clubfoot With a Modified Ponseti Technique
Surgical releases for arthrogrypotic clubfeet have high recurrence rates, require further surgery, and result in short, painful feet. We asked whether a modified Ponseti technique could achieve plantigrade, braceable feet. Ten patients (mean age, 16.2 months; range, 3–40 months), with 19 arthrogrypotic clubfeet, underwent an initial percutaneous Achilles t

5. The Drop Toe Sign: An Indicator of Neurologic Impairment in Congenital Clubfoot
Nine patients presenting during infancy were identified with clubfeet and absent anterior and lateral compartment functions. We considered these to be neurogenic clubfeet. All patients had the drop toe sign: resting posture of the toes in plantarflexion and absent active dorsiflexion movement after plantar stimulation of the foot. Two patients (three feet) u

6. Clubfoot Treatment: Ponseti and French Functional Methods are Equally Effective
Over the past 15 years, the reemergence of nonoperative treatment of clubfeet throughout the world has been profound. Two methods have been utilized—the Ponseti method and, to a lesser extent, the French functional method. Our review presents one institution’s experience using both methods. Satisfactory initial correction was achieved in 95% of idiopath

7. Gait Analysis after Initial Nonoperative Treatment for Clubfeet: Intermediate Term Followup at Age 5
We conducted gait analysis following initial nonoperative clubfoot treatment to compare lower extremity kinematic (eg, ankle motion) and kinetic (eg, ankle power) characteristics between patients treated as infants with Ponseti casting or French physical therapy. This is a followup report of gait characteristics at age 5 years in patients who had previously

8. Pedobarographic Analysis Following Ponseti Treatment for Congenital Clubfoot
Current methods of treating congenital clubfeet provide high rates of functional outcomes. Despite the clinical outcomes, radiographic assessment suggests residual equinus deformity of the hindfoot. It is unclear whether these deformities result in abnormal foot-floor pressures and whether they correlate with clinical outcome. We evaluated 28 feet in 20 pati

9. Comparison of Ponseti versus Surgical Treatment for Idiopathic Clubfoot: A Short-term Preliminary Report
The Ponseti method of treatment for congenital clubfeet has gained widespread clinical acceptance. We have used manipulation, serial casting, and surgery to treat congenital clubfeet for almost 3 decades. Considering the Ponseti method of treatment to replace our traditional treatment method, we conducted a randomized, controlled trial evaluating the short-t

10. Ponseti Method for Untreated Idiopathic Clubfeet in Nepalese Patients From 1 to 6 Years of Age
Although the Ponseti method has been effective in patients up to 2 years old, limited information is available on the use of this method in older patients. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 171 patients (260 feet) to determine whether initial correction of the deformity (a plantigrade foot) could be achieved using the Ponseti method in untreated id

11. Tibialis Anterior Tendon Transfer after Clubfoot Surgery
Recurrent dynamic and structural deformities following clubfoot surgery are commonly due to residual muscle imbalance from a strong tibialis anterior muscle and weak antagonists. We asked whether subcutaneous tibialis anterior tendon transfer effectively treated recurrent deformities following clubfoot surgery and whether the presence of structural deformiti

12. Correcting Residual Deformity Following Clubfoot Releases
There are many possible pitfalls of clubfoot releases and it is important to recognize the problems and provide proper timely treatment. Late residual deformity following clubfoot releases include: dynamic or stiff supination and forefoot adduction deformities, intoeing gait, overcorrection, rotatory dorsal subluxation of the navicular, vascular insult to th
