Purpose: The aim of this study is to analyze objectively pathoanatomical changes of clubfoot treated with Ponseti method.

Introduction: In the treatment of clubfoot, regardless of the grade and severity of the disease, first conservative treatment and serial casting should be chosen. The follow up period for surgery performed group ranges usually from 2 to 8 years (not longer than 10–15 years). Thirty years results of Ponseti’s idiopathic clubfoot treatment is with 78% success. In some recent series 95% success rate was reported. Standard conservative treatment (Kite’s) success rates are only 11% to 58% for idiopathic group.

Material and Methods: Seventy patients, 115 feet (45 Bilateral, F/M 15/55) were included in the study. 28 of these patients were neurogenic group (20 Spina Bifida and 8 Artrogripotic). Since 1997, we strove Ponseti’s strict casting protocol. Bensahel’s a la carte PMR surgery was performed in 2 cases. Downey’s MRI evaluation criterias were used. In statistical analysis of the idiopathic, neurogenic and normal groups, ANOVA test was used.

Results: The Navicular angle assessment was statistically significant (p< 0.05). Assessment of the results of idiopathic group was in normal range. Pathological components of Clubfoot were significantly reduced in the neurogenic group.

Conclusions: Ponseti method is the effective treatment way of both the idiopathic clubfoot and the neurogenic foot. It is concluded that sound understanding of the anatomy of the foot, the biological response of young connective tissue and bone to changes in direction of mechanical stimuli, can gradually reduce or almost eliminate these deformities in most clubfeet.
