Question
Pediatrics Causes of Clubfoot
Answer
Dear physician, I would like to ask about the issue of clubfoot in premature babies. According to the physician’s professional opinion, clubfoot in premature babies is usually caused by congenital malformation due to incomplete bone development. The most recommended and effective treatment method is to undergo bone correction surgery. However, to ensure the best treatment outcome, it is suggested to wait until the child is one year old before undergoing the surgery. In addition, as the child may be affected by neonatal diseases, parents should closely monitor their child’s symptoms and seek medical attention promptly, avoiding self-medication to relieve symptoms. Parents’ careful observation and timely medical consultation are crucial for the child’s recovery.
