Ignacio Ponseti, Pediatric Orthopaedist, U.S.
"We are very pleased and impressed to see the enormous amount of exposure the Global-HELP web-site has provided throughout the world on our clubfoot treatment. The large number of hits in all languages shows the far-reaching effects of this web-site."

 

Orthopaedic Surgeon, India
"I have been regularly accessing the Global-HELP web-site and recommended it to many of my orthopaedic colleagues for the wealth of information it contains, which is of tremendous help to practicing orthopaedic surgeons like me from developing countries. I found the 'Clubfoot: Ponseti Management' publication the most useful and I have started following the Ponseti technique. I have also taught this method to some of my junior trainees. I deeply congratulate and laud the efforts of the team of Global-HELP for putting up such wonderful publications and admire the noble work being done. Keep it up."

Commercial Loan Assistant, U.S.A.
"I just wanted to say thanks for publishing 'Clubfoot: Ponseti Management'.

When I found out at 30 weeks gestation that my twins (age 3 now) were to be born with bi-lateral clubfoot, I was in tears. I knew very little to nothing about the birth defect. We searched and found this manual and read the complete thing, front-to-back, three or four times prior to our consultation with Dr. Ponseti's colleague, Jose Morcuende. We only live two hours from Iowa City, IA, U.S.A. where Ponseti and Morcuende practice. When Morcuende asked what I knew about the condition, I pulled the manual out from my bag and told him all my information came from it. Needless to say, my appointment lasted about 15 minutes. He couldn't really tell me anything more than I already knew and said that the outcome of the girls' treatment would probably be very good since I was so well informed. He said the more informed parents are, the more they understand the condition/treatment and are more likely to rigidly adhere to the program.

The girls are doing well. In fact, after four castings, they did not even need the tenotomy. The fifth cast stayed on for two weeks and now we are in our Ponseti AFO Brace.

Thanks again for publishing this information and offering it free on your web-site. I believe I would have had a much more difficult time dealing with the clubfoot if I had not had this manual. I hope you are able to continue and broaden the scope of material offered."
