Treatment of Congenital Clubfoot
Figure 6
Ignacio Ponseti, MD
Peer Review Status: Externally reviewed
The flexed foot, lightly supinated, is slowly abducted while
counterpressure on the head of the talus stabilizes the bone against
rotation in the ankle mortice. The medial tarsal ligaments are
stretched allowing the calcaneus to abduct with the foot and the
anterior tuberosity of the calcaneus is disengaged from its position
under the head of the talus.
