Is your foot doctor using the Ponseti Method to treat clubfoot? Some foot doctors may "say" they are using the Ponseti Method, but they may be only referring to the fact that they do serial plaster casts, or they may have modified it, or not be following it exactly.Research has shown that the best results are achieved by following the protocol of the Ponseti Method exactly as developed by Dr. Ponseti. Here are some questions to ask, or things to note, if you are not sure that your doctor is using the true Ponseti Method.Is the doctor using full leg casts or half leg casts? The answer should be full leg casts. The Ponseti Method uses casts up to the groin and bent at the knee. This helps to immobilize and hold the manipulated foot in the right position so that the ligaments, tendons and skin can grow until the next cast is applied.How many casts are needed to correct a clubfoot? The answer should be 3 to 6 casts, and maybe a couple more if the clubfoot is very severe and stiff. If your doctor seems vague even after 1 or 2 casts about how many more casts are needed, or tells you to "be patient," then he or she is not following the Ponseti Method correctly. You should also be able to...more
