What is Clubfoot Correction?
Clubfoot correction is a surgical procedure used to treat a congenital foot deformity where the foot is twisted inward or downward. The surgery aims to improve foot alignment and function. It helps patients, especially children, achieve better mobility and reduce long-term complications.
Surgical Technique and Approach for Clubfoot Correction
The surgery involves carefully releasing tight tendons and ligaments to allow proper alignment of the foot. Orthopedic surgeons may use instruments like scalpels, scissors, retractors, and specialized orthopedic pins. In some cases, bone cuts or tendon transfers are performed to achieve correct positioning. External fixators or casts are often applied after surgery to maintain alignment during healing. The procedure is usually done under general anesthesia with precision to avoid damage to surrounding tissues. Recovery includes careful monitoring and physiotherapy to restore strength and function.
Why it’s done?
- To correct congenital foot deformities present at birth.
- To improve walking ability and mobility.
- To prevent pain or discomfort caused by abnormal foot positioning.
- To reduce the risk of long-term complications like arthritis or difficulty wearing shoes.
