Yes, but age matters: It's better to catch the clubfoot deformity at a younger age because the success of surgical correction is greater. The ideal age is to start before the child is walking. However, if you are talking about an adult, you want to weigh the degree of function that you expect to improve. Prior to surgery, consider other conservative treatments including special shoes, braces and orthotics.
