    It's fantastic to see these written up given it is such a relatively easy technique.

    Ponseti method

    The Ponseti method is a manipulative technique that corrects congenital clubfoot without invasive surgery. It was developed by Ignacio V. Ponseti of the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, US, in the 1950s, and was repopularized in 2000 by John Herzenberg in the US and Europe and in Africa by NHS surgeon Steve Mannion. It is a standard treatment for clubfoot.[citation needed]

    Hi

    I am a podiatry student doing a clinical placement in a rural area which also services small remote commuities. While attending a clinic in a remote community we assessed a 2 year old aboriginal boy who had been referred to podaitry by a physiotherapist with ? R) talipes equinovarus. On assessment there was a classical looking talipes equinovarus with the exception that the we could dorsiflex his ankle to the point that his toes could touch his anterior leg. We also were unable to palpate or see any sign of an achilles tendon and he severe atropy / under-development of his R) gastrocnemius / soleus muscles. Other than this he is healthy and running around the room (albeit on the lateral / dorsal aspect of his right foot) with no apparent signs of pain or discomfort.

    He had been assessed by a visiting paediatrician in late 2008 & in December 2008 travelled to a tertiary paediatric hospital where he was assessed by an orthopedic surgeon with a diagnosis of ? talipes ? tibialis anterior weakness. He was sent back to his remote community for conservative care (which appears to mean do nothing) & have an orthopedic review at the tertiary facility in December 2009.

    My question is should this child have been casted & then put in shoe braces (Ponsetti Method) or is it appropriate to do nothing and wait and see as has been done in this case? I appreciate that there may have been some compliance issues in this case, but I think they could have been adequately addressed in the community. I would be interested to hear from anybody who has had experience in managing talipes.

    Regards,

    David Kelly

    Our OT at the hospital sometimes does an aquaplast splint for positional talipes.

    I guess in a remove community, even conservative care is difficult, you only need some sand to get into a plaster cast and have a wound start. While I think there is a great number of things that could be done, even with a soft cast, but the social factors are so huge. Is there a nurse always there, is there a podiatrist there 2-3 x a week, do they even want it treated?

    The other, is how much it had changed in the last year. When they saw him last year, was he walking, weight bearing etc, the ortho may not have noted the extend in the 10 minute visit they are afforded in current health system. If this child's parent weren't equipped for that environment to push for treatment there is always a wait and see approach. There may also have been the discussion of casting there at the hospital but the parents wanted to go home rather than stay for 6 weeks so they just have to wait for surgery which I dare say will be booked at the next review in Dec. However with his flexibility, he may still be casted at the next review. Don't forget, unless you have that little paper that says you are ponsetti trained (here in Australia) and an ortho likes you, you will not be trusted to do ponsitti casting. You "may" be trusted to fit a dennis brown bar, maybe.

    This is one of the hardest and most infuriating things about seeing complex rural patients, is the minimal amount of interventions that can be provided, and the inadequate health system setup for unemplowered patients. I understand your frustration. These are the clients that we will often try to attend the ortho appointment with to we can understand what is going on and how we can work together but we have that luxury in the community health and hospital system that is close to each other.
