  • I always thought you were born with a clubfoot I don't think they just develope now I'm going to research ill let you know what I find
  • That didn't take long lol clubfoot is a birth defect not something that developes over I would see about a second opinion
  • My husband was born with a club foot and he is fine. I think they broke the foot so it could heal correctly, but I'm not exactly sure. I thought it was something you were born with also, but I'm sure he was a toddler when they broke his foot so I'm not sure if he was born with it or developed it. What I do know is he grew up playing baseball, football and soccer. He played football and did track in high school. Now he enjoys playing softball, sand volleyball and rock climbing.
  • Well her foot turns inward and its been like since she was born but the just thought it was from being in the womb but its been getting worse its turning in more

    @TeriSue i had it when i was born. the shriners hospital broke my feet so they would heal correctly. i had to wear special shoes til kindergarden so they would b corrected. i playd sports and still do to this day. only downfall is a lot of spraind and twistd ankles. they hurt me a lot. dr thinks im getn arthritis n my ankles. hi-top basketball shoes and boots help though. good luck... hope everything works out for her! %%-
  • My son was born with left club foot....they did castings till he was about 6 to 8 months..at 3 months he had surgery to release a tendons...wore some boots at night while sleeping till he was 2...and just had another tendon released last year at 6 and now he is 7 doing awesome...you can always get advice from the family doctor you choose for your baby...good luck hope this helped ...
  • My dad was born with club feet and an inverted sternum. You could never tell, he only told me just recently because he wanted to make sure I took the proper vitamins. He claims its a vitamin deficiency.
  • Thanks everyone she had x rays done now just waiting for dr to call me back. Dr also wanys her to have therapy and go to Gillette children's specialty center.
  • @cassiz22 I don't know about club foot, but I think the sternum is hereditary. Both my grandpa and my little brother have one.
