Clubfoot is a birth defect that causes 1 or both of a baby’s feet to turn inward, or to point upward. This occurs because the tendons that connect the leg muscles to the foot are short and tight, causing the foot to twist and bear a rough resemblance to a golf club. Clubfoot effects 1 out of every 1,000 babies in the U.S. making it one of the most common congenital foot deformities. It’s not usually a painful condition, but it needs to be treated early so your child can walk normally later.
