How is a club foot operation done?

Can be big or small: There is not a "clubfoot operation". There are a variety of procedures used on clubfeet. A tenotomy involves cutting the Achilles tendon completely and allows the ankle to flex more. It is a common part of the ponseti method used in infants. More extensive soft tissue releases, tendon transfers, osteotomies and fusions may be used for "atypical", recurrent or long-standing deformities.

3 ways: There are several different operations but all must address the soft tissue and bony changes present. There are 3 components to be addressed- the rotation of the foot inwards, down, and across. This is rather a simplistic explanation but the deformity is actually quite complex and detailed explanation can be readily researched on the web.

There: Are a few different types of operations that can be performed for really any condition. Based upon your specific condition a doctor decides the best way to fix a problem. A surgical consultation is a great way to start to get specific information.
