Overview
Clubfoot is the most common congenital foot deformity. The great majority of clubfeet can be corrected in infancy in just a few weeks when treated by expert orthopaedic surgeons. The best and safest treatment is manipulation followed by the application of a plaster cast. This book describes the treatment for the most common clubfoot deformities, providing an introduction to the theory underlying the approach, and giving full practical details to enable clinicians to carry out the procedures with confidence. It also covers common errors in treatment and how to avoid them.
