Spina bifida is a partially preventable disease, previous studies in many regions of the world showed a decrease in the incidence after using folic acid supplements. However, there are several congenital deformities associated with spina bifida including kyphosis, hip dislocation, and clubfoot. The aim of this case report was to evaluate the deformity correction of the left foot after Taylors spatial frame with the Ponseti technique in a 5 years old girl with spina bifida.
