**Studies associated with initial surgical correction - Non-Ponseti Method. Some are quite old, Some do not have text at all. Full texts can usually be specifically requested.
The following link is a PDF file of a "book" compilation of many studies and papers describing mostly surgical methods and treatments for clubfoot up until the time of it's writing in 1993. There is a small section near the end discussing "conservative" treatments but does not mention any non-surgical methods by name. Dr. Ponseti is referenced 20 times, only in citations for his papers. If you want to find out more about your specific surgical method, chances are there are pictures and descriptions of it within this large document.
