            <div>
                <p>Clubfoot, a congenital deformity where the foot appears twisted inward, affects 1 in 1,000 babies. Fortunately, timely treatment can help achieve normal foot function and appearance.</p>

            <h6><b>Causes:</b></h6>
            <p>Unknown in most cases. It is possibly related to genetics, muscle imbalance, or environmental factors.</p>
            <h6><b>Symptoms:</b></h6>
            <ul>
                <li>Foot twisted inward with an arched sole.</li>
                <li>Short Achilles tendon.</li>
                <li>Difficulty wearing normal shoes.</li>
            </ul>
            <h6><b>Diagnosis:</b></h6>
            <ul>
                <li>Physical examination: Assessing the foot's position and flexibility.</li>
                <li>X-rays: Confirming the diagnosis and severity.</li>
            </ul>
            <h6><b>Management:</b></h6>
            <ul>
                <li><b>Ponseti method</b>: The most common non-surgical approach, involving gentle stretching and serial casting to gradually correct the foot position.
                <li><b>Surgery</b>: In rare cases where casting isn't successful, surgery to lengthen the Achilles tendon or other soft tissues might be needed.</li>
            </ul>
            <h6><b>Recovery:</b></h6>
            <ul>
                <li><b>Casting</b> usually lasts 3-6 months, followed by bracing for several years to maintain correction.</li>
                <li><b>Physical therapy</b> may be recommended to build muscle strength and improve flexibility.</li>
            </ul>
            <h6><b>Precautions:</b></h6>
            <ul>
                <li>Regular follow-up appointments are crucial to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed.</li>
                <li>Wearing the brace consistently is essential for optimal results.</li>
                <li>Early intervention and consistent follow-through are key to achieving successful outcomes.</li>
            </ul>
