Ask NOAH About: Pregnancy Clubfoot and Other Foot Deformities Public Health Education Information Sheet Introduction What Is Clubfoot? What Are Some Other Common Foot Deformities? How Does Clubfoot (Equinovarus) Affect a Child? ... References: Introduction Clubfoot has been one of the major orthopedic (bone and joint) problems of children since doctors began to specialize in that field more than 200 years ago. It is one of the most common of all birth defects. Severe forms of clubfoot affect some 5,000 babies (about one in 735) born in the United States each year. Boys are affected with severe forms of clubfoot twice as often as girls. Mild foot deformities are even more common, with both sexes affected in approximately equal numbers. What Is Clubfoot? Clubfoot is a word used for certain ankle and foot abnormalities usually present at birth. The defect can be mild or severe, and it can involve one foot or both. The medical term for clubfoot is equinovarus. The foot is twisted inward and downward. If both feet are "clubbed," the toes point toward each other instead of straight ahead. The heel cord often is very tight, making it impossible to bring the foot up to a normal position without a specialist’s help. What Are Some Other Common Foot Deformities?

Your child has been diagnosed with Clubfoot (Congenital Talipes Equinovarus) Sometimes babies are born with a foot or both feet that are not in the normal position (Figure 1). Occasionally, a clubfoot is only positional, can be easily stretched into a correct position, and no treatment is necessary. More often, however, the true clubfoot is not very flexible and immediate treatment is required in order for it to be corrected. What about clubfeet? A clubfoot occurs in nearly one of every 1,000 births and affects boys twice as often as girls. In half of those children affected, both feet are involved. In some instances, the cause of the clubfoot is known, but in the majority of cases the cause is unknown. The muscles and tendons supporting the feet are contracted (shortened) causing the bones in the foot to be out of normal alignment. What are the treatment options for clubfeet?

Dr. G. Yoon and colleagues at the University of Calgary looked at 4,464 amniocentesis procedures performed between 11 and 19 weeks of pregnancy over a 4-year period. When the amniocentesis was performed between week 11 to just before 13 weeks, 1.1% of children were born with the foot abnormality.

Clubfoot Definition: Common Symptoms: During infancy clubfoot does not cause pain. In fact, children will begin to stand and to walk at normal developmental stages. If left untreated, the child will not be able to wear shoes, and the foot will eventually become painful prohibiting participation in most athletics and certain forms of employment. Physical Examination: Physical examination of an infant with clubfoot will demonstrate the typical findings including hindfoot varus, heel equinus, and forefoot supination and adduction. The rigidity of the foot can help determine whether nonoperative treatment will be effective. The child should also have a careful examination of the hips, neck and spine to assess for the presence of associated conditions. Laboratory and Radiographic Examination: X-rays of the feet are not required to diagnose clubfoot. Following treatment x-rays are used to assess the development of the bones in the foot. Causes: There is no known cause of idiopathic clubfoot deformity. While there is a definite genetic contribution to the development of clubfoot deformity, other potential causes include viral infection and lack of sufficient amniotic fluid. Clubfoot can also be associated with certain congenital problems including myelomeningocoele, Streeter's syndrome, arthrogryposis, and certain forms of dwarfism.

Clubfoot Clubfoot affects about one in every 1000 children born. About half of these children have one foot involved, and half have both feet affected. The cause of the condition has been carefully studied, but not determined for certain. What we do know is that there are genetic factors (more important) and environmental factors (less important). There is a tendency for the clubfoot condition to run in families, with boys being affected twice as commonly as girls. Clubfoot presents at birth. The foot is curved inward (varus), down (equinus), and has a "C" or bean shape (metatarsus adductus). If not treated, the deformity will persist, and the child will eventually walk on the side or top of the foot. Early treatment consists of casting to correct the deformity. In the first month or two this is usually done weekly, followed by every other week as the rapid growth of an infant decelerates. In mild cases, casting may completely correct the deformity. When persistent deformity is not corrected by the manipulation and casting, surgery is usually required. Many different types of surgery for clubfoot have been done and are still being done.

The foot can be fixed in an abnormal position, flexed, extended, turned in, or turned out at the ankle, with toes lower or higher than the heel. Clubfoot may affect one or both feet and is twice as common in boys as in girls. Heredity is a factor in the development of the condition. Treatment begins shortly after birth and includes exercise, plaster casts and/or splints to manipulate the foot into a normal position. In some infants, surgical correction is required. With early treatment, children with clubfeet can grow up to walk and run normally. WHAT CAUSES CLUBFOOT?

54. UCB Parents Advice About Clubfoot UCB Parents Health Medical Advice. clubfoot. Good luck to your sister!Ann (4/00) My nephew has/had clubfoot, not too severe though. http://parents.berkeley.edu/advice/health/clubfoot.html

Clubfoot Advice and recommendations from the UCB Parents mailing list. This page is brought to you by UC Berkeley Parents Network Back to My sister just had a baby with a club foot. She has been to two different orthopedists, one recommended surgery, the other successive casts. Has anyone had experience with this? Can anyone tell me who would be the best doctor or practice to consult? thanks, Lynn (4/00) My daughter did not have a club foot, but, at around 19 months (she'd just started walking) her feet were turning in and our doctor recommended that she be seen by an orthopedist. We went for the appointment with Dr. Donald Townsend (3300 Webster, Oakland, 893-4854). He x-rayed her feet and showed me how the bones were growing at a distinct angle. He said that casting would correct this problem and put the casts on that same day. I was pretty distraught because she couldn't walk anymore. However, it was only a short while before she was toddling around in the casts and they did not bother or slow her down at all. (Of course, she sounded like Frankenstein coming across the floor, but, at least we knew where she was at all times!) We went in three times (I think) to have the casts changed. It was not easy because they had to use a saw to take the casts off, then would put them back on. My daughter was not very happy about that, but we survived it. I think she wore them for about 6 months, but she's 8 now, and I can't quite remember. On the whole, I was VERY glad we did it. Her post-cast x-rays showed completely straight feet. Dr. Townsend commented to me when we went in for our last visit, that many insurance companies were no longer covering this procedure, as they deemed it "cosmetic." I feel very fortunate that we were able to do it, since my niece suffers from extreme "pigeon toes" and it does effect her running, so I do not agree with the insurance company assessment of the procedure. Good luck to your sister! Ann (4/00)

Tarsal Coalition Deformities - Clubfoot Clubfoot is one of the most common non-life threatening major birth defects. It affects your child's foot and ankle, twisting the heel and toes inward. It may look like the top of the foot is on the bottom. The clubfoot, calf and leg are smaller and shorter than normal. Clubfoot is not painful, is correctable and your baby is probably otherwise normal. Approximately one in every 1,000 newborns has clubfoot. Of those, one in three have both feet clubbed. The exact cause is unknown. Two out of three clubfoot babies are boys. Clubfoot is twice as likely if you, your spouse or your other children also have it. Less severe infant foot problems are common and are often incorrectly called clubfoot. The goal of treating clubfoot is to make your newborn's clubfoot (or feet) functional, painless and stable by the time he or she is ready to walk. Doctors start by gently stretching your child's clubfoot toward the correct position. They put on a cast to hold it in place. One week later, they take off the cast and stretch your baby's foot a little more, always working it toward the correct position. They apply a new cast, and one week later you come back and do it again. This process (called serial casting) slowly moves the bones in the clubfoot into proper alignment. Doctors use X-rays to check the progress. Casting generally repeats for 6-12 weeks, and may take up to four months. About half the time, your child's clubfoot straightens with casting. If it does, he or she will be fitted with special shoes or braces to keep the foot straight once corrected. These holding devices are usually needed until your child has been walking for up to a year or more.

Research Studies: Clubfoot Introduction Research What is clubfoot? Clubfoot affects the child's foot and ankle, twisting the heel and toes inward. Clubfoot can be mild or severe and can include one or both feet. Interestingly, the right foot is involved more frequently than the left. What is the scope of the problem? Clubfoot is seen once in every thousand babies and is among the major orthopedic problems of children. Club foot is more common in boys than girls. Initial treatment for clubfoot consists of manipulation and casting, which is successful in more than 50 percent of cases. Children whose clubfoot is not corrected by manipulation and casting undergo surgery. Why are we studying clubfoot? In most cases, the cause of isolated clubfoot is not known, but clubfoot does recur in families. After having one child with clubfoot, the chances of having another child with the condition are 3-8%.
