Congenital Clubfoot (CC) is one of the most frequent orthopedic lesions in patients younger than 10-15 years. The surgical correction is more difficult in children over 1.5 years, compared to newborns, due to advanced osteoarticular development and higher rigidity of the foot. The aim of this study was to report the results of our experience regarding the combined orthopedic-surgical treatment of CC and the follow-up prognostic value of Dimeglio score in children aged between 1.5 to 12 years.
