If anyone has experience using The Ilizarov technique in clubfoot treatment please let me know.  I have heard from a Doctor in New York City who uses this method to treat those who have uncorrected clubfeet or those who have had a relapse. 

I have posted a photo of the aparatus in the clubfoot photo gallery 

I would like to post more information and stories about this method on the site. Here’s what I have so far… Clubfoot Ilizarov Treatment

I have added a new page to the clubfoot site… 10 questions to ask your Doctor to ensure they are using the Ponseti Method.    I wrote this after having an email chat with our newest community member http://clubfootclub.org/community/members/mail2imtiaz/  I am so happy that Imtiaz has now taken his newborn son to a different Doctor, one trained in the Ponseti Method. 

I welcome your comments if you feel I have missed something I will be glad to edit this page.
