Rate and predictors of relapse and surgery in idiopathic clubfeet after successful Ponseti treatment in infancy
We confirm that a higher number of casts to achieve correction in the initial Ponseti series, younger age at presentation, complex clubfoot features, and poor brace adherence may be correlated with risk of relapse and surgery. The need for joint invasive surgery is rarely indicated.
