[Clubfoot orthosis with integrated dynamic cuff for retention and redressing].

Conservative treatment of clubfoot deformities with braces and bandages is traditionally several hundred years old. The clubfoot braces of Venel, Scarpa, and Schulthess, as well as the redressing bandage of Cheselden, are reviewed as typical examples. The treatment of clubfoot deformities was initiated in the Balgrist Hospital for Orthopedic Surgery by W. Schulthess. Recently, in Balgrist, we developed a brace that retains and redresses the foot. This brace is described, and early clinical results are reported.
