title: [The treatment of congenital clubfoot in The Netherlands; results of a survey among orthopedic surgeons].
abstract: As the result of an inquiry among Dutch orthopaedic surgeons a consensus is formulated on the treatment of congenital talipes equinovarus in the first year of life. From this, the following general directives emerge: Treatment should start early and consist of repeated redressing followed by immobilisation; In more severe cases often surgical release is necessary, this should be performed preferably between the 4th and 9th months of life, in order to make normal motor development possible.
