ClubFoot
Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a birth defect where a baby's foot is twisted out of shape or position. The foot is typically turned inward and downward, with the tendons (tissues connecting muscles to bones) being shorter than usual, which restricts proper movement. Fortunately, clubfoot is treatable, and early intervention with methods like the Ponseti method (casting and bracing) or surgery can help the foot grow and develop more normally.
