Abstract:
The deformity known as congenital idiopathic talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is probably the most common (1 to 2 in 1000 live births) congenital orthopedic condition requiring intensive treatment. With the perception that the treatment of idiopathic CTEV by extensive soft tissue release is often complicated by stiffness, recurrence, and the need for additional procedures, the minimally invasive Ponseti method has been accepted as the first line of treatment, which has achieved excellent results globally. The Ponseti method has achieved excellent results in children with idiopathic CTEV aged ≤2 years. However, the upper age limit for the Ponseti treatment has not yet been defined. We reviewed the published data to determine the efficacy of the Ponseti method in older children with neglected CTEV.
