BIRTH DEFECTS

Clubfoot  
Clubfoot refers to a condition in which the baby's foot is turned inward and downward at birth. It can be mild or severe, and can affect one or both feet. In many cases, the defect can be corrected using casts on the childs's feet and legs. Some cases may require surgery; however, the outcome is usually excellent and the child will go on to live a normal healthy life.
