Clubfoot Clinic

Clubfoot is one of the most common foot problems in infancy. It occurs twice as often in boys than in girls. In about half of cases, both feet are affected. Although the exact cause is unknown, clubfoot may be due to your baby’s positioning in the womb, or a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

If your baby has been diagnosed with clubfoot, treatment should begin as soon as possible. The Ponseti method involves casting your baby’s foot or feet once a week for 4-6 weeks, starting soon after birth. This technique is more than 90 percent effective in achieving normal foot function with excellent long-term results.
