Whether an infant has horseshoe foot can be determined by the appearance of the infant’s foot, whether the heel is lifted, and whether the infant can stand.
Horseshoe foot is a manifestation of developmental deformity of the bones and joints of newborns, which is relatively common among newborns and will affect normal standing and walking in the future. If the infant has clubfoot, both feet will be turned inward in an opposite position, the heel is lifted and the heel ligament tendons are tight, making it impossible for the infant to stand normally.
If it is suspected that the infant is horseshoe foot, it is recommended to go to the regular hospital as soon as possible, after professional doctor’s examination and judgment, and make a timely treatment plan, such as surgical correction. Otherwise, horseshoe foot without timely intervention and treatment, delayed for a longer period of time, will develop more serious, and treatment will be more difficult.
