Clubfoot/CTEV and Other ankle/foot problems

Clubfoot, also known as Congenital Talipes Equinovarus (CTEV), is a common congenital deformity where a baby’s foot is twisted inward and downward. This condition, affecting the bones, muscles, tendons, and blood vessels, makes walking difficult if untreated. Early intervention, often through non-surgical methods like the Ponseti method, is crucial for correcting the deformity. Other ankle and foot problems in children include flatfoot, where the arch of the foot doesn’t develop, and toe walking, which can signal underlying neuromuscular issues. Timely diagnosis and treatment by a specialist, like Dr. Pritish Singh, ensure better outcomes.
