Clubfoot is an abnormal twisting of the foot that occurs at birth.
Clubfoot is a congenital malformation in which one or both feet twist inward or downward, making walking difficult if not addressed. The improper development of the muscles, tendons, and bones in the foot and ankle causes this disorder. The specific reason is unknown; however, genetic and environmental factors may be involved.
Newborns with clubfoot may have a noticeably twisted foot, a tiny calf muscle, and limited movement in the affected limb. Despite its appearance, clubfoot is not painful at birth; nevertheless, if not addressed, it can cause movement problems, arthritis, and trouble wearing standard shoes.
Treatment usually begins shortly after delivery with the Ponseti method, which entails mild stretching, casting, and bracing to gradually rectify the foot's posture. In severe cases, little surgery may be necessary to loosen stiff tendons. Early intervention improves outcomes, allowing most children to walk, run, and play properly.
Individuals with clubfoot can live active lives with adequate treatment and no long-term disabilities. Regular follow-ups help to keep the foot aligned and prevent recurrence. Increased awareness and early medical intervention greatly improve results, allowing affected youngsters to regain normal movement and function.
