Appearance of a typical clubfoot
How is a clubfoot treated?In the 1970’s through the 1990’s many doctors used surgery to correct clubfoot deformity. By releasing ligaments and tendons, doctors placed the immature foot into a more normal position. Often, the initial appearance of the foot was much improved. Unfortunately, over time, many of these feet became painful and stiff by the time the patient reached adolescence.
