• There are many kinds of deformities from the
  normal foot which lead to aberrations. This is
  rather a popular problem. The clubfoot, medically
  called Talipes Equinovarus, is one type of
  deformation that can be identified. The cause of
  the clubfoot is unknown, occurring in one out of
  every 1000 births, and affecting boys twice as
  often as girls. The foot is bent towards the side
  in clubfoot, making the deformed foot, arm, and
  leg narrower and shorter than the usual side of
  the baby's foot, arm, and leg. Such a deformation
  must be treated immediately, or it may cause
  further complications as the child grows older
  and continues to walk. Do you want to learn more?

• Cleft foot is a more severe but rare foot
  deformity, or partial adactively. A cleft extends
  into the foot in this unusual hereditary
  deformity, creating a "break" or "lobster claw."
  Treatment requires surgical repair, which can
  enhance the foot 's function as well as
  appearance. Another foot deformity is called
  cavus foot. The foot has an unnaturally high arch
  in the cavus foot which causes too much weight to
  be placed on the ball and heel of the foot when
  standing.

• Other problems and deformities, including
  hammertoes, calluses and ankle sprains, can
  result from cavus foot. It may be caused by a
  variety of medical conditions, including cerebral
  palsy or stroke, or may be a structural
  hereditary abnormality. Many of the therapies
  used to treat cavus foot are orthotic products,
  specialized shoes, and also foot and ankle
  braces. Surgery is to be used as a final resort.

• Shortening the metatarsal bones, or toes, is yet
  another common foot deformity found in many
  people. The shortest metatarsal found in such a
  deformation will normally be on the fourth toe of
  both feet. The fourth toe shortening can cause
  discomfort and rubbing in shoes, and may even be
  uncomfortable to look at. The most common
  treatment for metatarsal bone shortening is bone
  lengthening surgery.
• Many other deformities in the foot are less
  severe. Another, called calcaneovalgus, involves
  a sharp bending of the foot at the knee, causing
  the foot to move upwards and outwards, often
  reaching even the shinbone. In a baby born with
  condition, normally no treatment is needed, as it
  will correct itself. For another foot deformity
  called metatarsus adductus, the front portion of
  the foot bends inward, forcing a child to step
  backward with the toes turned. This is also a
  disorder that typically corrects itself as the
  child develops, while specialist shoes may be
  needed to assist in walking for a period of time.

• Summary
• No more cast for congential Metatarsus Adductus.
  UNFO is a revolutionary solution developed
  specifically for the therapy of Severe Metatarsus
  Varus, Metatarsus Adductus (Severe, Moderate and
  Mild), Forefoot Abduction and Pigeon toed in
  newborns. UNFO addresses the difficulties and
  stress of frequent casting, the ineffectiveness
  of stretching and the consequential under- or
  over- treatment of Metatarsus Adductus.
