Our Mission To be continually innovative to offer the best possible products for the teaching, training, and implementation of the Ponseti Method of Clubfoot Treatment and to provide exceptional customer service before and after the sale.
In an effort to streamline our manufacturing processes, some cosmetic changes are being made to select sizes of the Ponseti AFO. In addition to the cosmetic changes, some design changes are also being made.
In January 2009, we began by eliminating the need for a separate narrow width for the size 1 and 2 Ponseti AFO. We have continued that trend with the size 3 beginning July 2009. Effective August 1st, 2009 we will no longer offer a separate wide width for these sizes but will continue to accommodate the widths through the design changes which have been made.
Similar design changes will occur on additional sizes as we continue to improve our manufacturing processes to better serve our customers.
Please contact Emily Ferguson at 877-766-7384 if you would like to request an updated size chart or if you have questions. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and patronage.

About Us
John Mitchell, a Wayland Iowa based designer of medical instruments and models, established MD Orthopaedics in 2003 for the purpose of providing an effective, patient friendly device to assist in the treatment of clubfoot. This device is a significant component of the "Ponseti Method" which has become the most popular and effective alternative to orthopaedic surgery.
Dr. Ignacio Ponseti, an orthopaedic surgeon, developed this technique during his 63 year tenure at the University of Iowa Hospitals. The University of Iowa has a well known and prestigious orthopaedic surgery department. Over those 63 years, Dr. Ponseti has become one of the most renowned and respected orthopaedic surgeons worldwide with his method and practices well published.
The Ponseti technique involves the use of four to five casts, to manipulate the foot so to correct the deformity. This procedure, performed by a physician or qualified health professional, should start as soon after birth as possible as the foot is most easily manipulated at that stage of development. An AFO(ankle and foot orthosis) brace, as designed by John Mitchell, is then attached to patient's feet to continue the manipulation process and prevent relapses of the deformity.
Located less than one hour from Dr. Ponseti and the University of Iowa, MD Orthopaedics has enjoyed a close working relationship with Dr. Ponseti.
