Congenital Foot Deformities

Congenital foot deformities are structural abnormalities of the foot present at birth. They can affect the shape, position, or function of the foot, making walking or standing difficult. Common types include clubfoot (a twisted foot that turns inward), flatfoot (where the arch is missing), or cabana deformity (a condition affecting toe alignment). These conditions result from abnormal development in the womb and may involve bones, muscles, or connective tissues. Treatment often involves stretching, casting, braces, or surgery to correct alignment and improve mobility, helping children lead active, healthy lives.
