Midterm clinical and radiological outcomes of arthrogryposis-associated clubfoot treated with the Ponseti method: a retrospective observational study and comprehensive literature review.

Background: The treatment results of the Ponseti method for arthrogrypotic clubfoot have been described in only a few case series. Further evaluations are necessary.

Methods: Children from two German paediatric orthopaedic hospitals with arthrogryposis-associated clubfoot treated with the Ponseti method between 2004 and 2011 and who were at least five years of age at their last follow-up were retrospectively evaluated.
