I don't have many answers for you as I am still waiting for my little girl to arrive. She has been diagnosed with clubfeet via ultra sound. We are also planning on going with the Ponsetti method of treatment. Most of the problems with this method seem to revolve around the brace/shoes and I know that they are working to improve it. Has started casting yet? With the Ponsetti method they like to start casting as soon as possible. Do you have a Ponsetti doctor? Good luck.

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 Ponseti's method is one of the best kept secrets on the earth it seems, but that is changing. His method and his approved/trained doctors are absolutely the best for your baby. s. Welcome to nosurgery4clubfoot > hi! > > My name is Alana and my son age 19 weeks has clubfeet.
