Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery

For Ponseti method casting (the gold-standard non-surgical approach), the series of weekly casts takes 5–8 weeks, followed by a minor tendon release procedure under brief anesthesia, and then a bracing program continued at home. Families who travel for Ponseti treatment typically stay in-country for the full casting series and tenotomy, then continue the bracing phase independently at home with guidance from a local physiotherapist. For older children requiring surgical soft tissue release or osteotomy, the in-country stay is typically 3–4 weeks including post-operative casting.
