Clubfoot is a term given to foot deformities that are present from birth (congenital) that cause your baby’s foot to be twisted out of shape or position. The tissues linking the muscles to the bone (tendons) in clubfoot are shorter than normal. Clubfoot is a reasonably common birth abnormality that normally occurs as an isolated issue in a healthy newborn. Clubfoot is a condition that can be mild or severe and it is usually found in children. Because clubfoot makes it difficult for your child to walk normally, doctors usually recommend treating it as soon as possible after birth.
