Description: Objectives
1. Define clubfoot
2. Describe the pathological anatomy of clubfoot
3. Describe imaging of the infant clubfoot
4. Describe treatment of the infant with clubfoot

Discussion points
1. What is a "true" clubfoot? How is it different from a postural deformation? Do you think some reported series may have different criteria for inclusion of an infant clubfoot? How would that alter results?
2. Should early surgery be performed for the infant with clubfoot? If so, what? Why or why not?
3. How do ultrasonographic findings suggestive of clubfoot correlate with postnatal clubfoot?
