[Complex congenital clubfoot: a case report].
The Ponseti method is the ideal treatment for the management of congenital clubfoot of any etiology; it corrects the deformity in more than 90% of cases. However, a small percent of idiopathic clubfoot cases, known as complex clubfoot, do not respond properly to this treatment and thus a modification of the original technique described by Doctor Ponseti for manipulating the forefoot is required. We present herein the case of a patient with complex congenital clubfoot treated during her first year of life with the modified Ponseti method with good results.
