A further area of major interest is clubfoot, which has been one of the focuses of Professor Abboud’s research team since 1996. Extensive research and clinical work have recently introduced a new scoring system, the IMAR-Scoring System, as well as a novel IMAR-Clubfoot pictorial scale. Both combine for the first time clinical and biomechanical measurements that aim to objectively predict relapse to facilitate early intervention and assist surgeons in the evaluation of clinical and surgical outcomes
