What should be done about congenital talipes equinovarus?

Patient's question:

On the 20th, I went to the hospital to see you. You said to get a massage, and now it has been a month since the massage. I feel that there has been significant improvement, but when the child exerts force, the outward rotation is still very noticeable. There is a clear outward toe-walking pattern when the foot touches the ground. Can massage cure this condition? Do you confirm that there is no need to wear corrective shoes or use orthotic devices? We plan to take the child for another visit. Are you working on Monday, April 29th? Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you need to go to the hospital for a check-up. Surgical correction treatment can be performed. After the surgery, you need to use antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, enhance nutrition, pay attention to rest, and supplement vitamins and trace elements. The occurrence of pediatric orthopedic diseases severely affects the patient's life. In addition to active treatment, patients need to pay more attention to daily care. It is recommended to eat more vegetables and fruits, consume more calcium-rich foods, and avoid or reduce the chances of occurrence.
