RESUMO
Clubfoot or talipes equinovarus deformity is one of the most common anomalies affecting the lower extremities. This review provides an update on the outcomes of various treatment options used to correct clubfoot. The ultimate goal in the treatment of clubfoot is to obtain a fully functional and pain-free foot and maintain a long-term correction. The Ponseti method is now considered the gold standard of treatment for primary clubfoot. Relapse is common after primary treatment with the Ponseti method, and other interventions are discussed that are used to provide for long-term successful outcomes.
