How is clubfoot treated?

Patient's question:

How is a clubfoot treated? The child has had this condition for a long time, and I am very worried, afraid it will worsen. Please give me some advice, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the information you provided, how old is the child? The two renal pelvises are separated by 7 millimeters. This indicates that you need to check kidney function, have a routine urine test, and rule out urinary tract infections and stones. If there are no problems or symptoms, you can wait and see. If it's a clubfoot, there is no good corrective method; the most effective and direct method is surgery, which can restore it to a normal state. It is recommended that you have the surgery at a tertiary general hospital.
