Congenital clubfoot: results and therapeutic guidelines. 1983

A Dal Monte, and E Manes, and S Araoz, and A Zajia

The authors report the results observed between 5 and 11 years after surgery in 100 cases of congenital clubfoot treated by posterior release and another 100 cases treated by combined posterior and medial release. On the basis of their experience, they believe that: 1. Grade 1 clubfoot can be successfully treated conservatively; 2. Grade 2 and grade 3 clubfoot must always be treated by complete posterior and medial release; 3. The best age for surgical intervention is around the age of 3 months; 4. In the first three months of life, manipulation and plaster casts should be used to try to correct the deformity.
