Item description

Club foot is one of the common congenial deformities where the leg of the child is turned inwards and makes it difficult for the child to walk. The exact cause of the disease is pretty ambiguous where the leg of the kid gets to the shape of a gold stick.
Club foot is not a disease that is difficult to handle, it can be treated, and however, it is important to note that it might lead to many issues.
•Joint pains or arthritis –
•Poor mental self portrait. The bizarre appearance of the foot may make your kid’s self-perception a worry amid the youngster years.
•Failure to walk ordinarily. The touch of the lower leg may not permit your kid to stroll on the sole of the foot. To adjust, he or she may stroll on the wad of the foot, the outside of the foot or even the highest point of the foot in extreme cases.
•Strolling changes may avert regular development of the calf muscles, cause extensive wounds or calluses on the foot, and result in an unbalanced step.

Ponseti Method:
Ponseti is the plaster application which will set the kid’s foot back to normal.
2.Surgery:
A minor surgery post the ponseti method would help in releasing the tendon to rectify the front portion.
3.Boots and Bars:
This is to relapse the clubfoot and this is done using special boots that helps to keep the feet pointed outwards and the length of the bar is equal to the width of the shoulder of the children.
Check appropriately and take proper measures to avoid issues in the near future.
