Event info

This webinar series provides an opportunity to discuss the latest studies and knowledge on key aspects of clubfoot treatment. There are three webinars: 23 November and 7th December 2021 and 23rd January 2022.

At the time Dr Ponseti was developing his method, clubfoot was mostly treated by orthopaedic surgeons. With the introduction of a less invasive treatment for congenital clubfoot, the role of allied health professionals became a vitally important addition to clubfoot services. This is especially relevant for countries with resource constraints where there may be a shortage of doctors. It can also reduce treatment costs for government programmes globally. There are already many allied health professionals practicing Ponseti, and this webinar aims to discuss their role.
