Clubfoot deformity describes a range of abnormalities present since birth, where the foot's position is twisted out of shape. In this condition, the tissues connecting the bone and muscles are shorter than usual. It is fairly a congenital disease but in some cases, it is an acquired condition after birth. This condition can range from mild to severe depending on the symptoms, and most of the children are affected by both the feet. This can be caused due to hereditary or because of smoking during pregnancy. The symptoms include a foot in the shape of a kidney, a calf muscle smaller than usual, a shorter foot, makes it uncomfortable to walk, stiffness in the ankle, and lack of mobility.
