Hi doctor, My one-day-old baby has his left leg bent towards inside (making L shaped formation). All the fingers of the affected leg moves and the child do not have any other problem. Delivery was normal. Kindly guide us.
Hi. I have gone through the attachment (attachment removed to protect patient identity). It is known as CTEV (Congenital talipes equinovarus). The feet requires some straightening exercise which is done at regular intervals. This exercise will be explained to you by your pediatrician. At a later age, if the deformity is corrected by this method, then the child is given with specific shoes for the deformity with surgical correction. An orthopedic opinion is also required for the same.
