What are the causes & symptoms of clubfoot?

Clubfoot is a congenital foot deformity, in which a child’s foot points downward and inward (twisted out or out of shape) since birth. Also known as congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), the condition can be mild or severe, affecting one or both the feet. In clubfoot, the tissues connecting the muscles to the bone (tendons) are detected shorter than the usual. However, the condition creates a problem for the child to stand and walk normally if not treated right on time.
