When is the best time to treat a clubfoot

The earlier a clubfoot is detected and treated, the better the outcome. Studies have shown that because the pathologic changes in the early stages of hallux valgus are smaller and the soft tissue contractures are not as severe, if the hallux valgus can be treated early, the degree of recovery and the prognosis of the hallux valgus can be improved. On the other hand, in the later stages, when the pathologic changes of hallux valgus are more severe, treatment at this time may not be as effective. The earlier a patient is treated for clubfoot, the better the patient’s ability to take care of himself or herself, the better the patient’s ability to walk on his or her lower extremities, and the earlier the treatment is given, the better the patient’s quality of life will be. In general, the treatment of clubfoot takes the method of manipulation correction, if the manipulation correction fails or recurrence, then the surgical method can be used for treatment.
