Abstract:
The Ponseti method has proven to be successful in the treatment of both isolated and non-isolated clubfoot. The method should be executed prior to any pediatric invasive procedures and likewise should be attempted with any pediatric recurrence. A thorough neurologic examination and attention to clinical signs will help distinguish the atypical clubfoot. Despite this approach some children do require return to serial casting, physical therapy, and or surgery to achieve a plantigrade functional foot. Bracing strategies at a time of growth remain key.

Development of the Limb Synovial Joints
The mesenchymal stem cells differentiate into chondrocytes that form the hyaline cartilage, and later the cartilaginous model of the bone. This model further transforms into a bone. This process is known as endochondral ossification.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.
