Concept
The brazilian project for congenital clubfoot treatment by Ponseti method
was created to train orthopaedic surgeons in this effective and non
expensive technique of clubfoot correction.
2 day workshop in 20 brazilian cities connected to regional centers of
Sociedade Brasileira de Ortopedia e Traumatologia:
Technique –
Lectures
training in cast application
tendon Achillis tenotomies and
follow up with abduction braces
Aim
We believe this course, with the material produced by Iowa, allow
us to obtain the same good results of treatment of the Iowa group
and many other hospitals in the world.
The Ponseti method is cheap, efficient and it is our duty to make
it accessible to any child with this deformity in our country.
