Introduction: Idiopathic congenital talipes equinovarus is a complex deformity that is difcult to correct. The treatment of clubfoot is controversial and continues to be one of the biggest challenges in pediatric orthopaedics. Most orthopedists agree that the initial treatment should be non-surgical and should be started soon after birth. We aimed to study a short-term follow up of 30 patients treated by the Ponseti method at our institute to assess the efcacy of the treatment modality. Methodology: 30 patients underwent Ponseti method for a period of 2 years, patients were followed up regularly at weekly intervals. The severity of foot deformities was graded as per Pirani's scoring system. Results: The Ponseti method is a safe and cost-effective treatment for congenital idiopathic clubfoot and radically decreases the need for extensive corrective surgery. Non-compliance with orthotics has been widely reported to be the main factor causing failure of the technique. At the end of study good results were obtained in 28 patients. 2 patients developed recurrence of the deformity due to non-compliance of the use of Orthotics.
