Clubfoot
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a condition present from birth in which the foot appears turned inward and downward, with a position different from the usual one. It can affect one or both feet.
How it presents: The foot takes on a curved and rigid shape that makes it hard to place normally; it is detected by its characteristic appearance.
When to evaluate it? It is best to have it checked in the early stages, since timely care supports the development of the foot.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatric orthopedist is the professional focused on musculoskeletal conditions in childhood, and the orthopedist evaluates cases according to age. Discussing it with one of these specialists allows you to learn the appropriate follow-up for each case.
