Clubfoot

Clubfoot is a congenital foot condition where a baby is born with one or both feet turned inward and downward. This misalignment can affect walking and may cause discomfort if not treated. The exact cause is unclear, but it may involve genetic and environmental factors. Early intervention, typically through gentle manipulation and casting, can effectively correct the foot's position. In more severe cases, surgery might be necessary. With appropriate treatment, most children with clubfoot can lead active, normal lives and walk without difficulty. Regular follow-up care is important to ensure proper development.
