Talipes treatment in Chihuahua

Talipes, or clubfoot, is a deformity present from birth in which the foot turns inward and downward, taking on a position different from usual.

Features: The affected foot may appear rotated, with the sole pointing toward the center of the body, and ankle mobility is usually limited. It can affect one or both feet.

Common causes: Its origin is not always clear; developmental factors during pregnancy and, in some cases, family history play a role.

Which specialist treats it? The podiatrist, along with the orthopedist, evaluates the shape and mobility of the foot to guide follow-up. If an abnormal foot posture is noticed in a baby, it is best to bring it up early with a professional for a timely evaluation.
