Article Synopsis
- Talipes equinovarus (clubfoot) remains a complex condition despite numerous research publications, with conservative treatment options currently favored over surgical intervention.
- A Functional Method that uses gentle manipulations, practiced for over thirty years, aims to correct clubfoot deformities and promote early walking without invasive procedures.
- The family’s involvement in routine at-home manipulations is crucial, and the method has shown promising results in correcting deformities, achieving success rates of up to 77%.
A new series of 350 previously unreported cases of clubfoot treated by the functional method are reported. One hundred and eighteen clubfeet were unilateral and 116 were bilateral. The follow-up ranged from 11 to 18 years, with an average of 14 years.
