What are the causes of pediatric clubfoot?

  Horseshoe clubfoot, also known as congenital clubfoot, is a relatively common congenital deformity, mostly unilateral, but can also be bilateral. This disease seriously affects the growth and development of the child, so parents must learn more about the causes of clubfoot in their daily lives and take early preventive measures to prevent their children from being attacked by this disease.  The causes of clubfoot are mainly the following: 1. If the fetus is developing in the mother’s womb, the foot is not relieved by long-term compression, it is possible to form a clubfoot. Some people also believe that the tibialis anterior muscle long-term excessive tension, ligament relaxation, muscle weakness can also lead to exopodial foot.  2, if the baby itself suffers from rickets bones are generally soft, if walking too early or too much, easy to make the foot and ankle weight-bearing joint deformation, followed by the formation of foot exostosis.  3, infants and young children’s bones just began to develop, at this time, if you learn to walk too early, will increase the pressure on the ankle joints, the phenomenon of excessive heel tilt. If the baby is fat, the ankle has to bear more weight, which will also increase the probability of foot ectropion.  4, when the baby is sitting in the stroller, the legs due to the bones are not fully developed is generally maintained in the knee outward position. Many children have foot ectropion, knee ectropion are caused by this situation.  5, the baby just started to learn to walk, if the posture is not correct, and parents did not find and correct, over time will lead to heel axial deviation, and in serious cases can also be accompanied by flat feet and navicular collapse. Some parents give their babies hard leather shoes too early, and the soles are too hard or too heavy, which will increase the stress on the ankle joints.
