Comparison of Ponseti Method Versus Older Treatments in Talipes Equinovarus Through Gait Analysis and Clinical Results

Comparison of Ponseti Method Versus Older Treatments in Talipes Equinovarus Through Gait Analysis and Clinical Results

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

• All patients with talipes equinovarus who have been treated at our institution

Exclusion Criteria:

• Patients with other disorders which may influence the clinical or gait analysis outcome
