Özet
Though talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, is a fairly common birth defect occurring once out of every 1,000 live births, its precise etiology is still poorly understood. Genetics, connective tissue disorders, and problems during pregnancy have been proposed as causes but it is likely that several pathways contribute to this particular dysmelia. Among the current treatment options available, the Ponseti method, which is a noninvasive manipulative technique, rapidly spread since its first description. Today it is the most widely adopted treatment method in the world. Although the manipulative technique is a drawn-out process that requires patience and effort on the part of both the clinician and the family, the Ponseti method should be upheld as the conventional treatment option orthopedists practice due to relatively low costs and positive success rates.
