摘要:
A new orthosis designed to deal with unilateral or bilateral idiopathic clubfoot after successful conservative or surgical treatment was used to maintain the correction and to prevent recurrence. Once the neutral position of the heel was achieved, the orthosis was found to be very useful in improving the correction of the hind-foot and/or the forefoot. The first 50 patients treated with the orthosis showed a 92% compliance rate for an average period of 9–12 months.
