All were 3 months old or less when treatment began and were rated for initial clubfoot severity using the Dimeglio scale (moderate, severe, very severe). Follow-up averaged 35 months (range 20-62 months). Forty-two percent of the feet needed no surgery to achieve a plantigrade position, 9% needed heelcord tenotomies, 29% needed posterior releases, and 20% needed comprehensive posteromedial releases.
