Congenital clubfoot is a common birth defect in children's skeletal system, which is named after its clubfoot, pronation and horseshoe-shaped flexion. Its incidence rate is about one in a thousand, mostly in boys. Every year, more than100000 infants with congenital clubfoot are born in the world, of which 80% are in underdeveloped countries, and most of them are untreated or improperly treated, resulting in permanent disability.

Treat as soon as possible

Once the congenital clubfoot is diagnosed, it should be treated as soon as possible. The goal of treatment is to completely eliminate or reduce all the factors leading to clubfoot deformity, so as to obtain a foot with normal appearance, flexibility, no pain, strength, ability to land on the sole of the foot and normal wearing of shoes.

Wear corrective shoes

After the baby was born, he found clubfoot. When did he start wearing corrective shoes? Generally speaking, the smaller the corrective shoes, the better. Generally speaking, it is best not to be over ten years old. However, children who are too young try not to wear shoes. Wearing shoes too early can easily affect the development of baby's bones, because the baby's bones are fragile and easy to get hurt. It is best to know the specific situation with doctors and orthopedic surgeons.
