An Analysis of the Mechanical Properties of the Ponseti Method in Clubfoot Treatment by Murtaza Kadhum, Mu-Huan Lee, Jan Czernuszka, Chris Lavy

“…This triggers extracellular matrix remodeling and tissue growth, but due to the viscoelastic properties of tendons and ligaments, the initial strain size, rate, and loading history will affect the relaxation behavior and mechanical strength of the tissue. To increase the efficiency of the Ponseti treatment, we discuss the theoretical possibilities of decreasing the size of the strain step and interval of casting and/or increasing the overall number of casts. …”
