Question
How should one treat a child’s left foot clubfoot? Parents are concerned about this condition and wish to understand possible treatment options.
Answer
Generally, children with early-onset clubfoot do not require special treatment and most can recover naturally within the first year after birth. It is recommended to observe the condition until the child is one year old and to have regular follow-ups to compare progress. If the situation does not improve or symptoms worsen, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should bring their child to a professional orthopedic clinic for a detailed examination and diagnosis, and follow the doctor’s guidance for appropriate treatment, such as wearing corrective shoes or undergoing surgical treatment.
