Clinical Trial Summary

There are many different treatments of congenital talipes equinovarus. At our institution, the investigators use the Ponseti method with manipulation and immobilization of the foot. In this study the investigators should like to demonstrate the better outcome in clinical results and in gait analysis of patients treated with the Ponseti method, compared to the 'older' methods of taping and posteromedial release.

Description:

There are many different treatments of congenital talipes equinovarus. At our institution, the investigators use the Ponseti method with manipulation and immobilization of the foot. In this study the invistigators should like to demonstrate the better outcome in clinical results and in gait analysis of patients treated with the Ponseti method, compared to the 'older' methods of taping and posteromedial release. Trial objectives With this study the investigators would like to investigate whether clinical results and gait analysis in patients treated with Ponseti has better results compared to patients treated with the older methods.
