Re: Program for the 2003 POSNA Convention in Florida

[Guest guest]

The 2003 Annual Meeting of the Pediatric Orthopedic Society of North

America (POSNA) will be held beginning today, April 30 to May 4, 2003

at Amelia Island (ville), Florida.

Of the 7 Clubfoot related papers being presented, 5 are by doctors or

hospital groups that use the Ponseti method initially, one is by a

group that initially uses either the French Physiotherapy or Ponseti

method and the 7th group (Chicago Shriners, I believe but am not

certain) are also starting to use the Ponseti method as their initial

form of treatment.

The following is from a prior message about the meeting.
