Ponseti information for Health Professionals

Clubfoot: Biomechanics and practical principles-based application of the Ponseti method

This book by Dr. Vince Mosca is based upon Global Help’s ‘Clubfoot: Ponseti Management’.

More than an update or next edition, however, it is a completely reconsidered, single authored interpretation and presentation of the Ponseti method by Dr. Mosca, a paediatric orthopaedic foot and ankle surgeon with over 40 years’ experience (including residency training) studying and treating clubfoot. One major aim of this work is to provide the most current and in-depth explanation of the biomechanics of clubfoot deformity and deformity correction, including the most up-to-date terminology.

Clubfoot: Ponseti Management

This 32 page, four-colour book provides information on all aspects of Ponseti management of clubfoot. It was designed for health care professionals, trainees and families to provide information about this technique. The book was authored by Dr Ponseti, his Iowa colleagues and others, who have mastered this casting technique. We recommend that Dr Ponseti’s technique be learned in a course using this book as a reference.

Treatment of Congenital Clubfoot using the Ponseti Method

This manual provides a “Congenital Clubfoot assessment and treatment record” and also contains “Information for parents” to help the parents understand their child’s condition, the treatment, and their very important role and responsibility in the treatment. I added a“Doctor’s check up sheet” and a “Parent’s instruction sheet”. These four appendices are designed for making copies for the use of every child’s treatment.
