Clubfoot refers to a foot that points downward, with the toes turned in and the soles often facing each other. This bone and joint deformity can occur on its own or in conjunction with other pediatric orthopaedic concerns. Typically, it is identified on an ultrasound during pregnancy or immediately after birth.
