Abstract
Congenital clubfoot is one of the most frequent pathologies of the musculoskeletal system. The treating of clubfoot by Ponseti gives promising results and complete correction of the deformity in 90-95% of patients sparing them from extensive surgery. In the Yaroslavl Regional Children's Hospital from May 2006 to December 2007 54 children (83 feet) with severe congenital clubfoot were treated. Treatment for all patients was initiated at the age of 1 year. With remote monitoring for 5 years recurrences were noted in 19.3% of cases. Despite its high efficacy in patients under the age of three years, non-compliance of brace wearing results in the number of recurrences and require re-gypsum. In older children (3 to 5 years) the treatment by Ponseti is supplemented by transfer of tibialis anterior muscle tendon. In cases of postoperative recurrence of the treatment program is complemented by local releases and arthrodesis.
