The Ponseti method is the gold standard for its treatment. This simple, low-cost method is very effective and very appropriate for countries with resource-limited or otherwise precarious health services. It is based on correction of the deformity by successive castings associated with a percutaneous Achilles tenotomy and then foot abduction bracing to maintain the correction. The Ponseti method is now well implemented in most emerging countries, largely due to internet development, but some barriers still limit its diffusion. This study aims to determine the principal barriers, to suggest some improvements, and to stress the essential points of its effective utilization by non-physicians.
