@medicineexplained: 👩🏻‍⚕️ Clubfoot explained with @Lurie Children’s 🏥 🦵 It's a condition you are born with where the foot is turned inward and downward due to the muscles in the foot being out of balance. 👶 One in 1,000 are born with this condition, likely from the muscles in the foot and leg pulling the foot inward during fetal development. 🤰 💪🏽 Even though it might look different, these children have the same parts like muscle, bones, and tendons. 🦴 🩺 Without treatment, it can be difficult to walk or stand and treatment is usually successful. That allows them to be healthy and active. 🚶‍♀️ 👩🏻‍⚕️ Most doctors use casting, a small surgery, and bracing. Keeping the foot in place, find more at Lurie Children's.
