Club foot or clubfoot, also called congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), is a congenital deformity involving one foot or both. The affected foot appears to have been rotated internally at the ankle. Without treatment, people with club feet often appear to walk on their ankles or on the sides of their feet.nderdevelopment of the bones also affects the muscles and tissues of the foot. Abnormality in the connective tissue causes the presence of increased fibrous tissue in muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendon sheaths. Affected individuals have smaller than normal legs even after corrected.

In clubfoot, the tendons that connect the leg muscles to the foot bones are short and tight, causing the foot to twist inward. Although clubfoot is diagnosed at birth, many cases are first detected during a prenatal ultrasound.In about half of the children with clubfoot, both feet are affected. Isolated (idiopathic) clubfoot is the most common form of the deformity and occurs in children who have no other medical problems. 2  Nonisolated clubfoot occurs in combination with various health conditions or neuromuscular disorders, such as arthrogryposis and spina bifida.

Clubfoot is a deformity in which an infant's foot is turned inward, often so severely that the bottom of the foot faces sideways or even upward. Approximately one infant in every 1,000 live births will have clubfoot, making it one of the more common congenital (present at birth) foot deformities. Isolated (idiopathic) clubfoot is the most common form of the deformity and occurs in children who have no other medical problems. 2  Nonisolated clubfoot occurs in combination with various health conditions or neuromuscular disorders, such as arthrogryposis and spina bifida.

It is a relatively common birth defect, occurring in about one in every 1,000 live births. Approximately half of people with clubfoot have it affect both feet, which is called bilateral club foot.In most cases it is an isolated disorder of the limbs. It occurs in males twice as frequently as in females.nderdevelopment of the bones also affects the muscles and tissues of the foot. Abnormality in the connective tissue causes the presence of increased fibrous tissue in muscles, fascia, ligaments and tendon sheaths. Affected individuals have smaller than normal legs even after corrected.

Clubfoot is a deformity of the whole foot that is present at birth. There are several types of clubfoot that are jointly known as 'talipes', as the deformity is mostly in the talus (a bone in the ankle).lubfoot occurs in about 1 in 1000 births. Both males and females are equally affected. In half of the cases, both feet are usually affected. Clubfoot must be treated, it does not correct itself.

Surgery. If your baby’s clubfoot doesn’t respond to manual manipulation, or if it is severe, surgery may be necessary to correct it. Surgery is used to correct the position of the tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints of the clubfoot to bring it into alignment.After surgery, the child will have to wear a brace for up to one year in order to keep the foot in the correct position.lthough the condition normally affects only one foot, it can affect both feet. Clubfoot can be corrected through stretching and bracing, but surgery may be necessary in severe cases. According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, clubfoot occurs in one out of every 1,000 births.

Clubfoot is not painful during infancy. However, if your child's clubfoot is not treated, the foot will remain deformed, and he or she will not be able to walk normally. With proper treatment, however, the majority of children are able to enjoy a wide range of physical activities with little trace of the deformity. Isolated (idiopathic) clubfoot is the most common form of the deformity and occurs in children who have no other medical problems. 2  Nonisolated clubfoot occurs in combination with various health conditions or neuromuscular disorders, such as arthrogryposis and spina bifida.

The most severe form of clubfoot is characterized by the foot or feet being turned inward and pointed downward.When both feet are clubbed, the toes turn toward each other. Clubfoot is usually an isolated defect.here are two general categories of clubfoot – intrinsic and extrinsic. 1  Intrinsic clubfoot is described as: 2  Rigid at birth with atrophy (not as well developed). 3  Fibrosis (stiffness). 4  Abnormal bone position. 5  Extrinsic clubfoot means the foot is flexible at birth, although the bones are out of position.
