Club foot (also called talipes) is where a baby is born with a foot or feet that turn in and under. Early treatment should correct it. In club foot, 1 foot or both feet point down and inwards with the sole of the foot facing backwards.
Congenital talipes equinovarus (CTEV), often known as 'club-foot', is a common but little studied developmental disorder of the lower limb. It is defined as fixation of the foot in adduction, in supination and in varus, i.e. inclined inwards, axially rotated outwards and pointing downwards (Fig.
Q66. 89 - Other specified congenital deformities of feet | ICD-10-CM.
Doctors use the term "clubfoot" to describe a range of foot abnormalities usually present at birth (congenital). In most cases, the front of the foot is twisted downward and inward, the arch is increased, and the heel is turned inward.
Clubfoot is a foot deformity classified into three different types: idiopathic (unknown cause), neurogenic (caused by condition of the nervous system) and syndromic (related to an underlying syndrome).
Clubfoot, also known as talipes equinovarus (TEV), is a common foot abnormality, in which the foot points downward and inward. The condition is present at birth, and involves the foot and lower leg. It occurs twice as often (2:1) in males than in females. It may affect one or both feet (50 % are bilateral).

Other specified congenital deformities of feet The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Q66. 89 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of Q66.
It is defined as a deformity characterized by complex, malalignment of the foot involving soft and bony structures in the hindfoot, midfoot and forefoot. The deformity affects the structure and position of the foot, presenting as an adductus and cavus (an inward turning) of the midfoot and a varus hindfoot.
Fig. The most common congenital deformity of feet is TEV; however, there are other forms of clubfoot, specifically talipes calcaneovalgus (in which the ankle joint is dorsiflexed and the forefoot deviated outwards), and talipes calcaneovarus (in which the ankle joint is dorsiflexed and the forefoot deviated inwards).
A percutaneous Achilles tenotomy (often abbreviated perc TAL) for clubfoot is a procedure that lengthens the Achilles tendon and helps to improve flexibility of the ankle.
