Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus, is a common congenital condition where a baby’s foot or feet are turned inward, with the bottom often facing sideways or upwards. It occurs due to tight tendons in the baby’s leg and foot, causing the foot to twist inward. Approximately 1 out of every 1,000 newborns is born with clubfoot, and about half of babies born with clubfoot have it in both feet.
