The systematic review study aimed to investigate the following details in the clubfoot children treated with the Ponseti technique: (1) to review the various designs and prescriptions of unilateral limb orthosis described in literature (2) to find the outcome following use of this orthosis, especially patient adherence and recurrence (3) comparison with standard bilateral limb foot abduction orthosis. ⋯ There is insufficient evidence to support use of unilateral limb orthosis for maintenance of deformity correction following treatment of clubfoot with the Ponseti technique. Their use was found associated with high recurrence rates.
