- Abstract:
- As one of the most common pediatric foot deformities, congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) affects approximately 1-4 per 1000 live births. CTEV is characterized by cavus of midfoot with forefoot adductus and hindfoot equinovarus. It persists into adulthood and severely impairs gait and qualityoflife for untreated children. Conservative treatment should be started as early as possible. Ponseti’s method has become a global gold standard of nonsurgical treatment for CTEV. Radiography and magnetic resonance imaging of affected feet may visualize bony and soft tissue structures in feet and aid in assessing the efficacy and prognosis. This review introduced recent advances of Ponseti’s method and imaging researches for CTEV.
