Clubfoot treatment for babies is a highly successful and effective way to treat clubfoot, a congenital condition that affects the feet and legs. Clubfoot is a condition where the foot is turned inward and downward, and the heel is twisted inward. It is estimated that 1 in 1,000 babies born in the United States have clubfoot.
The mainstay of clubfoot treatment is the use of stretching and bracing of the affected foot. This helps to gradually correct the deformity and realign the foot. The use of a plaster cast or a series of casts is often used to correct the deformity.
In some cases, surgery may be required. This is particularly true if the clubfoot does not respond to the initial treatment. The type of surgery performed depends on the severity of the deformity and the age of the child.
In some cases, the calf muscles may need to be lengthened and the ligaments of the arch of the foot may need to be tightened.
Clubfoot surgery can be a highly successful treatment option for babies with clubfoot. It may be necessary to perform multiple surgeries as the child grows to ensure that the foot remains in the correct position. Recovery time following surgery is typically short, and the prognosis is good.
Treatment should be started in the first week or two of life in order to take advantage of the favorable elasticity of the tissues forming the ligaments, joint capsules and tendons. With our treatment these structures are stretched with weekly, gentle manipulations. These babies require special treatment and may need surgical correction. The results are better, however, if bone and joint surgery can be avoided altogether. Surgery in the clubfoot is invariably followed by scarring, stiffness and muscle weakness that becomes more severe and disabling after adolescence.
