И отличных результатов в 98% случаев. В амбулаторной практике врачей-неонатологов и педиатров часто встречаются дети с этим заболеванием. Родители таких детей часто задают вопросы по поводу лечения врожденной косолапости непрофильному специалисту. В статье представлены подробное описание клинического осмотра ребенка с врожденной косолапостью, нюансы процесса лечения при помощи метода Понсети, проблем, с которыми сталкиваются пациенты и их родители в процессе лечения, а также ответы на вопросы, часто задаваемые на амбулаторном приеме.

Congenital clubfoot is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders in children. Timely diagnosis and early management via Ponseti method allow to achieve good and excellent results in 98% of all cases. Neonatologists and pediatricians frequently encounter children with this condition in their outpatient practices. Parents of these children often ask questions about congenital clubfoot management to nonspecialized doctor. This article provides detailed description of clinical examination of a child with congenital clubfoot, features of Ponseti method treatment process, challenges patients and their parents face during treatment, and answers to frequently asked questions during outpatient visits.
