Let's talk about the inward-turning of a child's foot, which is very common in pediatric orthopedics, commonly known as clubfoot. It is not greatly related to the bones, but rather to anomalies in tendon and ligament development.
How does clubfoot occur? Some children can be diagnosed with clubfoot through mid-to-late pregnancy ultrasound while still in their mother's belly, indicating that it's likely not a fetal deformity, because clubfoot is almost never seen in early pregnancy ultrasounds.
