Abstract
A survey was mailed to 541 members of the Pediatric Society of North America to define currently accepted treatment options in the management of talipes equinovarus. Four hundred sixteen (77%) responses were received, representing a total of 6125 years in practice (average of 17.4 years per physician) and 8595 clubfeet treated in the past year (average of 26 feet treated per physician). While specific trends were reported and great variability exists, certain principles are universal: initial nonoperative management followed by surgery for persisting deformities. A renewed interest in Ponseti's techniques of casting and surgery to address specific persisting deformities was reflected in this survey.Keywords
