    Clubfoot is a common condition that results from the abnormal assembly of bones in the foot and ankle. Surgery is the most effective treatment for clubfoot, but it requires careful postoperative care. Postoperative care begins the moment you leave the hospital and lasts for up to six weeks.

     

    During this time, you should lie in bed or sit upright as much as possible to avoid swelling and damage to the incision site. You should also immobilize the foot using an adhesive bandage if there's pain or numbness. You'll also need to take antibiotics and avoid heavy weight-bearing exercises for the first two weeks after Clubfoot Surgery. Finally, be sure to follow up with your surgeon regularly to ensure a successful outcome.
