A congenital condition where the foot is turned inward and downward, highly treatable when care begins early.

Club foot is present at birth and causes the foot to point inward and downward with a tight heel cord. With early, structured treatment the vast majority of children achieve a functional, pain-free foot that allows normal walking and activity.
