Talipes equinovarus, commonly known as “clubfoot,” is a congenital deformity of the foot (Figure 1). The condition is characterized by an exaggerated arch (cavus), a convex curved outer border of the foot (adductus), inversion of the heel (varus) and plantar flexion (equinus) that may involve one or both feet. Taken together, these deformities cause the foot to resemble a club, hence the name. Clubfoot is often idiopathic and seen as an isolated birth defect, but it can also be caused by an underlying congenital disorder in approximately 20% of cases.
