Ponseti International Association

The Ponseti International Association is the global leader in training and educating healthcare providers on the treatment for congenital clubfoot. The Ponseti Method was developed at the University of Iowa by Dr. Ignacio Ponseti, M.D. This method for clubfoot treatment is nearly 100% effective when used properly by a trained health care provider and is considered the "gold standard" treatment for clubfoot. Health care workers in underprivileged areas of the world with limited access to surgical facilities can be trained to use the method, helping hundreds of thousands of children walk...around the world.

Mission: to provide global leadership in building high-quality, locally-directed, and sustainable capacity to deliver the Ponseti clubfoot care pathway at the country level.

Vision: a world free of clubfoot disability
