E Kircher, and T Biehl

The congenital clubfoot of infancy to-day is curable in 90% of cases. Aim of the treatment is normalization of form, function and growth. With combined therapy according to Imhäuser optimal results are possible: 1. Immediately after birth--depending on the general condition of the newborn--reposition of all components without the talipes equinus component; plastercasts are changed frequently till the third or fourth month of life; 2. surgical development of the heel; calcaneal equinus is corrected by elongating the tendocalcaneus combined with arthrolysis of the ankle joint; 3. intensive clinical treatment by physiotherapy; 4. ambulant orthopedic controls at regular intervals till the end of skeletal growth.
