Extractions: Clubfoot is one of the most common birth defects. Severe forms of clubfoot affect some 5,000 babies (about 1 in 735) born in the United States each year. Boys are affected with severe forms of clubfoot twice as often as girls. Mild foot deformities are even more common, with both sexes affected in approximately equal numbers. An affected foot points downward, with the toes turned inward and the bottom of the foot twisted inward. If both feet are "clubbed," the toes point toward each other instead of straight ahead. The foot bones, ankle joints, and muscles and ligaments of the foot may be abnormal. The heel cord often is very tight, making it impossible to bring the foot up to a normal position without a specialists help.

Extractions: Fax 713-797-1029 Talipes equinovarus, or clubfoot, is a relatively common foot deformity, affecting one in 1,000 children each year. Clubfoot is readily identifiable at birth, making it easy to diagnose. Yet how to best treat clubfoot generates more controversy among physicians than almost any other orthopaedic condition. To date, there is no clear consensus on which type of surgery is better, when surgery should be performed or how to evaluate the results of treatment. At Shriners Hospitals, we specialize in the treatment of clubfoot. Below, you will read about the latest techniques, research, and recommendations related to the treatment of this condition. In referring a child for treatment of clubfoot, please remember these two basic rules: Treatment must begin immediately at birth, and

http://www.shrinershq.org/patientedu/clubfoot.html

Extractions: Telephone (509) 623-0400 The term "clubfoot" refers to a foot that points downward, the toes turn inward, and the bottom of the foot faces inward. The foot is positioned this way when the baby is born and so it is called a "congenital clubfoot." Clubfoot sometimes occurs along with other birth defects, but usually it is the only problem the child has. The doctor takes an X-ray to see how the bones in the foot are shaped. Sometimes a baby's foot is turned inward but the bones are shaped normally, and the foot can be gently pulled into a normal position. This can be caused by the baby's position inside the mother's womb. This kind of foot, called a postural clubfoot, may correct without any treatment or with casting for several weeks. The doctor may say that the baby "will grow out of it." In a true clubfoot the bones are not shaped normally and the foot seems to be "stuck" somewhat in its position. This kind of foot may need surgery. How often does clubfoot happen?
Jacob's Story
A mother tells of her son Jacob, who was born with severe bilateral clubfoot.
http://Hometown.aol.com/ladycub119/myhomepage/index.html

Extractions: Here is our story I had been trying to get pregnant for about 2 years with the help of my OB, but for some reason I just couldn't conceive. I finally decided, it was time to give up... Well, 2 months after giving up I discovered that I was pregnant with my little Jakie!!!!! I was sooooooo excited. I called all of my family to give them my good news, but I hadn't expected the responses that they gave. Half of them asked me if I was crazy and the other half asked if I knew what this was going to do to my body (I have Peri Neural Cysts on my Syatic Nerves) Which is very painful. I told them that I knew exactly what I was doing and would handle it just fine. Right around my fifth month the baby decided that laying on my Syatic Nerves was very comfortable for him :-( My older son Tony would literally have to walk me from my bedroom to the bathroom. He would wait patiently for me outside the door and walk me back to my room.

http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/orthopedicsurgery/peds/clubfoot.html

Extractions: Clubfoot is a deformity of the foot which occurs at birth or during childhood. It is also known as "talipes equino varus" which comes from latin. "Talipes" is derived from the word meaning "ankle bone" and "pes" means "foot," thus describing the location of the abnormality. "Equinus" means "horse" and is used in this context to describe how children affected with a clubfoot walk on their toes with the foot pointed downward, analogous to how horses walk on their toenails. Therefore, a child with clubfoot has abnormal posturing of the foot which causes him or her to turn the ankle inward and walk along the outside edge of the foot (see figure below). The word, "club," is also used to describe the appearance of the foot. Pictures of children with club foot The affected foot tends to be smaller than normal and can be shortened by up to 1 cm as compared to the normal side. In addition, some children with clubfoot have stiffness (i.e. lack of mobility in some of the joints of the foot) and small calf muscles.

Extractions: Welcome to my home page. Its just a bit of fun mostly, but it also has a serious side to it. I love my children, they are the most important thing in my life and like everyone I like to advertise that fact. My short Biography is about my life living with Club Foot, also known as Talipes. 1 in 1000 children are bourn in the UK every year with this condition and it can cause problems for the sufferer. That doesn't mean that the individual can't have a normal life though as medical procedures have changed over the years and the suffering is reduced to a minimum. My story is about personal experiences with the condition, and the problems it has caused, and how my family dealt with it. If you have club foot or a child with club foot, I have added a link at the end of the page to give you the opportunity to contact others for help and advice on the subject. On the family page you will find information about all six of my children their likes, dislikes, and a bit about what they do and their personalities. I have included some information about the family name, so if your name is Walder and you want to know some history into the name go to the family page and read on.
