  1. Treatment for Clubfoot

  2. If your child has clubfoot, the doctors at Advance Foot and Ankle Solutions will devise a treatment plan that suits their particular needs. The treatment for clubfoot depends on the baby’s age, as well as the severity of the condition. The goal of a clubfoot treatment is to position the foot in the correct place so the baby grows up to have a normal gait. The common non-surgical as well as surgical procedures for clubfoot are:

  3. Ponseti Method involves manipulation through casting and gentle stretching.

  4. After casting and manipulation, Achilles tenotomy is performed to release continued tightness in the Achilles tendon of the affected foot

  5. This is followed by bracing to ensure the foot permanently stays in the correct position

  6. French Method includes specialized physiotherapy via taping, stretching and splinting. It is continued until the baby is around 2-3 years old.

  7. If any non-surgical methods fail to show any improvement, surgical methods are used to treat clubfoot

  8. Less extensive surgery targets only the tendons and joints contributing to the deformity

  9. Whereas major Reconstructive Surgery involves release of multiple soft tissues structures of the foot until correction is achieved.
