Although Kites developed one of the first nonsurgical methods, the Ponseti method is more popular, where counterpressure is applied on the talar head.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two hundred and twelve idiopathic clubfeet were treated (84 bilateral and 44 unilateral) with the Ponseti method of casting; tenotomy was considered when the midfoot Pirani score was 0. Tenotomy was followed by casting for 3 weeks. The final functional outcome was assessed at 5 years (60 months) with Richard scoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The average number of casts applied for complete correction was 7.31, and 86.3% of the cases required tenotomy.
