To compare outcomes for children treated for idiopathic clubfeet with the Ponseti regimen before (2002–2004) and after (2005–2006) implementation of a dedicated Ponseti service. A retrospective analysis of outcomes for all patients with idiopathic clubfeet treated in the 2 years before and after implementation of a dedicated Ponseti service was undertaken. Results were statistically analysed using Fisher's exact t-test.Aim

10 years after the introduction of the Ponseti casting regimen as standard treatment for idiopathic clubfoot at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, we reviewed the mid-term outcomes of the initial 2-year cohort (treated from 2002–2004) 100 feet were treated in 66 patients. 61 of the 100 feet have been prospectively reviewed on an annual/ bi-annual basis since successful correction, with outcomes of the remaining feet obtained by retrospective analysis.Aim
