Clubfoot Program

Whether you learn about it during an ultrasound or you discover it during delivery, hearing that your child has been diagnosed with clubfoot can be both daunting and frightening. At the Children’s Orthopedic and Sports Medicine Center at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, we have a team of world-renowned physicians and experts standing by to answer your questions and discuss treatment options.

Clubfoot is a condition, usually discovered in an ultrasound or at birth, in which the foot is malformed or rotated downward and turned inward.

In most instances, our team uses the Ponseti method, a nonsurgical treatment that uses casts and braces to help the foot function normally without pain or lifelong disabilities. Treatment options depend on your child’s unique situation.

If your child has clubfoot or you just received a prenatal clubfoot diagnosis made by ultrasound, we offer video and telephone consultations with our team of experts to learn more about clubfoot treatment options. Please email us with any questions or to schedule a consultation.
