What is new in idiopathic clubfoot?

Ryan M O'Shea et al. Curr Rev Musculoskelet Med. 2016 Dec.

Abstract

Idiopathic clubfoot has a tremendous worldwide prevalence. If left untreated, the deformity has severely disabling effects on mobility and quality of life. Given its prevalence and significance, numerous studies are published on this condition every year. In this article, we attempt to highlight important themes and findings of studies published on idiopathic clubfoot over the past 3 years.

Keywords: Clubfoot; Congenital foot deformity; Pediatric foot; Pediatric orthopedics; Ponseti method; Talipes equinovarus.
