Please keep in mind that I have no medical training. The information on this site has been gleaned from various sources.
In 1993 when Evan was born the internet was just a baby too. We didn't know where to turn for information about his conditions. We made our decisions based on what our Doctors told us. We knew nothing about non-surgical methods of treating clubfeet and as a result Evan had clubfoot surgery. Hopefully this site will help others to find information and support.
Clubfoot or talipes is a congenital deformity of the foot that occurs in approximately 1:1000 births with half of them being bi-lateral (both feet) and it is twice as common in boys as in girls. The foot has a typical appearance of pointing downwards and twisted inwards. Since the condition starts in the first trimester of pregnancy, the deformity is quite established at birth, and is often very rigid.
