Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health follows on from the previous issue, “Advances in Foot Disorders and Its Treatment“ (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/ijerph/special_issues/foot_orthopedics_orthoses).

We are pleased to announce the continuation of this series with a Special Issue entitled “2nd Edition: Advances in Foot Disorders and its Treatment”, which aims to discuss new knowledge or novel developments in the foot disorders field. To this end, we are seeking novel research papers related to foot disorders and their treatments, especially orthopedics and walking aids.

Papers may be either research papers or review papers highlighting state-of-the-art developments in this area. We encourage the submission of interdisciplinary work and multinational collaborative research.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Prof. Dr. Gabriel Domínguez-Maldonado

Clubfoot is a common congenital deformity of the lower limbs. It should be treated as soon as possible so that its correction is more easily achieved. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the effectiveness of the Ponseti method in the treatment of clubfoot. A bibliographic search was carried out in different databases, including PubMed and SciELO. Filters such as full text and randomized controlled trial were selected to find those articles that best matched our search. Among the results, we selected the ones that interested us, and the rest were discarded, either because they did not meet the requirements for our work or because they were repeated. In total, we collected 19 articles, but after using the critical evaluation instrument CASPe, 7 of them were eliminated, leaving us with a total of 12 articles for our systematic review. After analyzing the results obtained in the selected articles, we concluded that the Ponseti method is effective in the treatment of clubfoot, presenting a high success rate. Full article
