It should be treated as soon as possible so that its correction is more easily achieved. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of the Ponseti method in the treatment of clubfoot. A bibliographic search was carried out in different databases, including PubMed and SciELO. Filters such as full text and randomized controlled trial were selected to find those articles that best matched our search. Among the results, we selected the ones that interested us, and the rest were discarded, either because they did not meet the requirements for our work or because they were repeated. In total, we collected 19 articles, but after using the critical evaluation instrument CASPe, 7 of them were eliminated, leaving us with a total of 12 articles for our systematic review. After analyzing the results obtained in the selected articles, we concluded that the Ponseti method is effective in the treatment of clubfoot, presenting a high success rate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20043714","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]],"date-time":"2023-02-20T03:29:06Z","timestamp":1676863746000},"page":"3714","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Effectiveness of the Ponseti Method in the Treatment of Clubfoot: A Systematic Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Elena","family":"L\u00f3pez-Carrero","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Podiatry Clinical Area, University of Seville, c\/ Avenzoar 6, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9 Manuel","family":"Castillo-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Podiatry, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry, University of Seville, c\/Avenzoar 6, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Medina-Alcantara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Nursing and Podiatry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of M\u00e1laga, c\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa 3, Ampliaci\u00f3n del Campus de Teatinos, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8549-7703","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gabriel","family":"Dom\u00ednguez-Maldonado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Podiatry, Faculty of Nursing, Physiotherapy and Podiatry, University of Seville, c\/Avenzoar 6, 41009 Seville, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8851-8247","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Irene","family":"Garcia-Paya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Nursing and Podiatry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of M\u00e1laga, c\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa 3, Ampliaci\u00f3n del Campus de Teatinos, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8634-7114","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ana Mar\u00eda","family":"Jim\u00e9nez-Cebri\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Nursing and Podiatry, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of M\u00e1laga, c\/Arquitecto Francisco Pe\u00f1alosa 3, Ampliaci\u00f3n del Campus de Teatinos, 29071 M\u00e1laga, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de M\u00e1laga (IBIMA), 29071 Malaga, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1177\/230949900901700115","article-title":"Conservative Management of Idiopathic Clubfoot: Kite versus Ponseti Method","volume":"17","author":"Sanghvi","year":"2009","journal-title":"J.
