Clubfoot or talipes equinovarus is a complex deformity characterized by three distinct manifestations. The foot is in an equinus position; the forefoot and heel are in varus; and the entire foot is supinated. While the exact etiology of this problem remains unknown, many advancements have been made in the treatment of clubfeet. The surgical procedure is progressive and tailored according the severity of the deformity. Pain management, thorough neurovascular assessments, and education of the family are essential to caring for these patients.
