Some Pictures of Kids With Club Foot
A club foot, or congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV) is a congenital deformity involving one foot or both. The affected foot appears rotated internally at the ankle. TEV is classified into 2 groups: Postural TEV or Structural TEV. Without treatment, persons afflicted often appear to walk on their ankles, or on the sides of their feet. It is a common birth defect, occurring in about one in every 1,000 live births. Approximately 50% of cases of clubfoot are bilateral. In most cases it is an isolated dysmelia. This occurs in males more often than in females by a ratio of 2:1. A condition of the same name appears in animals, particularly horses.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Some Pictures of Kids With Club Foot
This is the gf speaking... I was born with clubbed feet. It depends on the severity of some cases, but I do know that in my case, they cut my achille's tendons in both of my legs and stretched them out. My tendons were so tightened that it caused my feet immobility. This was just when I was born, but they also broke my ankles and put me in a body cast and switched it out every so many weeks. I believe doctors call it casting method. I have had several surgeries after that, amounting to about 12 surgeries/procedures in total.
