The heels and toes turn inward to the extent that it looks like the feet are upside down.
Clubfoot affects approximately one in every 500-1000 new born, making it one of the most common birth defect.
Clubfoot has a greater chance of being corrected if treatment is initiated early in life because of the favorable fibro elastic properties of the ligaments, capsules and tendons.
The child undergoes 4-8 weeks of weekly castings and then tenotomy after which a brace is given to the child and would be followed up on management.
