Core Tip	This is a retrospective study to evaluate the efficacy of the Ponseti method for initial correction of untreated, idiopathic clubfoot in patients above one year of age. The rate of initial correction to a painless, plantigrade foot without the need for soft tissue release was 78% in 255 evaluated clubfeet from 12 treatment centers in Nigeria. The Ponseti method, a non-operative treatment method involving serial manipulation and casting, is useful and effective for initial correction of clubfoot, even after walking age.
