[Prospective study of equinovarus foot in 20,000 live newborn infants].
We report a prospective study about congenital clubfoot in 20,000 alive newborns and also a critical analysis about the treatment results. The frequency was 1.65 per thousand and sex ratio almost 2:1 for males. In springtime the incidence was higher. Surgical treatment was performed in less than 50% of the affected feet. There were excellent and good results in 90% of the feet.
