DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Clubfoot, a leading cause of disability in developing countries, is the most common musculoskeletal birth defect. Despite extensive research, its etiology and underlying pathogenetic mechanism(s) are still unknown. For the past 40 years the standard treatment has been many months of casting (Kite's method) followed by surgery in up to 95% of the cases. Interestingly, even when hundred of thousands of surgeries have been performed worldwide, there is little information on the long-term outcomes of these procedures. In contrast, the Ponseti Method of treating clubfoot has demonstrated corrections in more than 95% of the patients, and long-term results showed most patients have functionally normal feet at 34 years follow-up. Based on these results, there has been a strong global interest in this method as it could help eradicate neglected clubfoot. Under the sponsorship of the United States Bone and Joint Decade, Ponseti workshops have been held for the last 7 years in several centers in the United States and around the world. These meetings have provided the opportunity to bring together orthopaedic surgeons, physical therapists, and nurses to learn this simple, effective and safe method of treatment. Despite these clinical workshops, there remains a knowledge gap between clinicians and basic scientists regarding this deformity. An International Clubfoot Symposium will permit discussions of the current knowledge of epidemiology, etiology and mechanisms causing this deformity; the identification of future basic and translational research goals; to create an International Clubfoot Research Network; to help in the development of foreign research capacity; a rigorous evaluation of treatment outcomes; a discussion of public health related issues such as prevention and eradication of neglected clubfoot, and help to raise public awareness of the findings. The meeting will have a workshop format in which a lecture on a specific topic will be followed by oral presentations of hypothesis driven findings with a focused discussion period. This proposal is a request to provide support for the organization of this meeting and for travel stipends for fellows, junior faculty, and a selected number of speakers. Public Health Significance An International Clubfoot Symposium will permit to identify future basic and translational research goals for clubfoot; a rigorous evaluation of treatment outcomes; a discussion of public health related issues such as prevention and eradication of neglected clubfoot, and help to raise public awareness of the findings.

描述（由申请人提供）：发展中国家残疾的主要原因是最常见的肌肉骨骼出生缺陷。尽管进行了广泛的研究，但其病因和潜在的致病机制仍然未知。在过去的40年中，标准治疗已有数月的铸造（风筝方法），然后在多达95％的病例中进行手术。有趣的是，即使全世界已经进行了数十万手术，也几乎没有有关这些程序的长期结果的信息。相比之下，Ponseti治疗Clubfoot的方法已在95％以上的患者中表现出校正，并且长期结果表明，大多数患者在34年的随访中的功能正常。基于这些结果，对这种方法产生了强烈的兴趣，因为它可以帮助消除被忽视的俱乐部。在美国骨和联合十年的赞助下，在美国和世界各地的几个中心，Ponseti研讨会已在过去的7年中举行。这些会议提供了机会，将骨科医生，物理治疗师和护士汇集在一起​​学习这种简单，有效和安全的治疗方法。尽管有这些临床研讨会，但临床医生与基本科学家之间仍然存在有关这种畸形的知识差距。国际俱乐部足脚研讨会将允许讨论当前有关流行病学，病因和机制的知识，导致这种畸形；确定未来的基本和翻译研究目标；建立一个国际俱乐部脚步研究网络；帮助发展外国研究能力；严格评估治疗结果；讨论与公共卫生有关的问题，例如预防和根除被忽视的俱乐部俱乐部，并有助于提高公众对调查结果的认识。会议将采用研讨会格式，在该研讨会上，关于特定主题的讲座将在以假设驱动的发现为重点讨论期的口头介绍。该建议是为这次会议的组织提供支持的请求，并为研究员，初级教师和选定数量的发言人提供支持。公共卫生的意义，国际俱乐部足脚研讨会将允许确定俱乐部俱乐部的未来基础和翻译研究目标；严格评估治疗结果；讨论与公共卫生有关的问题，例如预防和根除被忽视的俱乐部俱乐部，并有助于提高公众对调查结果的认识。
