As a congenital deformity, clubfoot or congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) can affect a child’s one foot or both feet. The affected foot of a child looks like being rotated internally at the ankle. The child further finds it difficult to place the sole of the foot flat on the surface. Hence, a child with clubfoot looks like walking on the side of his feet or on his ankles. However, the characteristics and symptoms of club foot differ from one child to another. The parents must start treatment for clubfoot immediately to avoid major problems as the child grows.
