A congenital condition called clubfoot, sometimes known as talipes equinovarus, causes a baby's foot to twist out of its natural alignment. Usually, the foot turns inward and down, but in severe situations, it may appear upside down. Born with this disorder, one or both feet can be affected. Though the precise reason is usually unknown, it results from the abnormal development of muscles, tendons, and bones during foetal growth.

Clubfoot can create a lifetime handicap without treatment, which makes walking uncomfortable and difficult. Still, it is quite treatable—especially if the diagnosis comes early. The Poinsettia approach is the most often used treatment technique, involving careful foot massaging and casting over several weeks, followed by minimal surgery if needed. Children often need braces following correction to keep the correct alignment.
Though less prevalent today due to better non-surgical procedures, surgical solutions are available in more complicated or resistant situations.  Key to favourable results are early intervention and regular follow-up. Clubfoot should not be overlooked since early treatment greatly enhances the appearance and functioning of the impacted foot.
