Clubfoot is a birth defect where the foot is twisted into an abnormal position. It is caused by genetic and environmental factors and affects males more than females. Treatment involves stretching the foot into correct position with casting or taping and bracing to maintain correction. The Ponseti method uses weekly casting and bracing while the French method uses daily taping. Surgery is reserved for severe cases that do not respond to non-surgical treatment. Proper treatment can result in normal foot function in most cases.
