The Ponseti Method typically involves several steps:
1. Casting: The baby's foot is gently manipulated into a more natural position and then placed in a cast. This process is repeated weekly, with each new cast further correcting the foot's alignment. 2. Tenotomy: In many cases, a minor surgical procedure called an Achilles tenotomy is performed to release the tight Achilles tendon. This allows for better movement and positioning of the foot. 3. Bracing: After the final cast is removed, the child must wear a brace to maintain the corrected position. The brace is usually worn full-time for the first few months and then during naps and nighttime for several years.
