Clubfoot is a condition when the foot turns inward and downward. It is congenital condition which means it is present at birth. Clubfoot is the most common congenital disorder of the legs. It can range from mild and flexible to severe and rigid. Without treatment, people with club feet often appear to walk on their ankles or on the sides of their feet. However, with treatment, the vast majority of patients recover completely during early childhood and are able to walk and participate in athletics just as well as patients born without the disease.
