Question
Is there a treatment method for congenital clubfoot deformity?
Answer
For patients with congenital clubfoot, treatment can be achieved through a combination of manual correction and plaster casting. Generally, the plaster needs to be changed once a week and the foot needs to be immobilized for 4 to 7 times. In severe cases, additional manual corrections and plaster castings may be required. After the plaster casting is completed, the patient needs to wear a specially made orthotic brace to help correct the foot deformity. In addition, daily care is also very important, including protecting the affected area, maintaining a reasonable diet, and avoiding activities that may trigger or exacerbate the condition.
