Overview

Clubfoot is a congenital condition where a newborn’s foot turns inward or downward, making it difficult for the child to place the foot flat on the ground. With timely care, this condition is highly treatable, and most children go on to walk, play and grow normally.

At Sarvodaya Hospital, we offer advanced clubfoot treatment through our experienced team in paediatric (pediatric) orthopaedics, ensuring your child receives safe, gentle and effective correction from the very beginning. Families from Delhi NCR, Faridabad and across India trust our expert-led approach for reliable and long-term results.

Why Timely Treatment for Clubfoot is Required

Early correction is important because clubfoot does not improve on its own. It may be caused by issues during foetal development or underlying neuromuscular conditions. Parents usually notice signs such as the baby’s foot pointing downward, turning inward or appearing shorter than the other foot.

If not treated at the right time, clubfoot can lead to difficulty walking, pain, imbalance and long-term disability. Timely clubfoot treatment in Delhi, Faridabad and across India helps your child achieve proper foot alignment, mobility and confidence as they grow.

Treatment Approach

We start with a detailed clubfoot diagnosis, which includes a clinical examination and, when needed, imaging tests to understand the foot’s position. You also receive clear guidance on what to expect during the treatment journey.

Once confirmed, we begin the Ponseti Method, the globally trusted approach for clubfoot treatment in India and worldwide.
 This involves gentle manipulation of the foot followed by weekly plaster casting to gradually correct alignment.

Most children only need a minor outpatient procedure called a tenotomy to release tight tendons. We perform this safely under local anaesthesia for minimal discomfort.

After correction, your child uses a brace to maintain the new position.
Our team supports you throughout with regular follow-ups and personalised care to ensure long-term success.

Benefits of Clubfoot Treatment

Effective clubfoot management helps children achieve proper foot alignment, mobility and confidence in their daily activities. With early correction and gentle techniques, long-term outcomes are positive and lasting.

• Natural Foot Alignment: Treatment gradually corrects the inward or downward foot position for stable movement.

• Improved Mobility: Children can walk, stand and play comfortably without imbalance or pain.

• Reduced Need for Surgery: Early Ponseti-based correction often prevents major surgical procedures later.

• Personalised Care: Each clubfoot treatment plan is tailored to your child’s needs for safe and effective recovery.

• Lower Future Complications: Early management prevents long-term deformity, difficulty walking and joint issues.

Post-Treatment Lifestyle Modifications

Recovery after clubfoot correction requires consistent care and healthy daily practices to maintain proper alignment and prevent recurrence.

• Brace Compliance: Use the foot abduction brace exactly as advised to maintain correction.

• Gentle Stretching: Perform stretching exercises taught by your specialist to keep the tendons flexible.

• Activity Guidance: Allow regular play but avoid high-impact activities until approved.

• Supportive Footwear: Choose soft, comfortable shoes during early walking stages.
