Clubfoot deformity (pes equinovarus) is one of the most common birth defects, and its etiology is still unknown. Initial clubfoot treatment is based on the Ponseti method throughout most of the world. Despite the effectiveness of this therapy, clubfoot may relapse. Recent studies confirm the theory of active fibrotic remodeling processes in the extracellular matrix of the affected tissue. The aim of this study was to clarify whether relapses in clubfoot therapy are associated with altered angiogenesis and to suggest possible regulatory pathways of this pathologic process.
