What is clubfoot?
Clubfoot is an abnormality that affects either one or both of the feet. The feet have an abnormal position, turning inward, and require casting and often surgery. Males are affected twice as frequently as females. 4,000 babies are born with clubfoot each year in the United States and require medical intervention. Clubfoot often occurs as an isolated event in a family but can also occur in multiple family members. This research study is identifying the factors that contribute to this common birth problem.
