Understanding Clubfoot:

Clubfoot occurs due to tightened muscles and ligaments in the foot and ankle. This deformity can affect one or both feet, causing various limitations:

• Difficulty walking: The inward-turned position makes walking and standing challenging.
• Pain and discomfort: Tight muscles and abnormal positioning can cause pain and discomfort.
• Limited shoe options: Finding well-fitting shoes can be difficult.
• Impact on self-esteem: Clubfoot can affect a child’s self-esteem and participation in activities.

Treatment Options at Medace Clinic:

The most successful approach to clubfoot treatment involves early intervention. Here’s how we address clubfoot at different stages:

For Newborns (Ponseti Method):

• The Ponseti Method: This non-surgical approach is the gold standard for treating clubfoot in infants. It involves a series of gentle manipulations and castings to gradually reposition the foot over several weeks.
• Bracing: Once the foot is in a corrected position, a special brace is used to maintain alignment and prevent relapse.

For Older Children and Adults:

• Manipulation and casting: In some cases, manipulation and casting may be attempted, especially if the deformity is mild.
• Surgery: If non-surgical methods are not successful, minimally invasive surgery may be recommended to release tight muscles and ligaments.
• Physical therapy: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in all stages of treatment, helping to improve flexibility, strengthen muscles, and restore proper gait.
