has anyone had a baby born with clubfoot in the past 5-years?


If so, what treatment did he/she receive, and how well did it work?

Answers:
First of all, don't worry, clubfoot is relatively common occurring every 1 in 1000 births. It takes some time to fix but can be fixed well without anyone being the wiser later in life.

Here is an excellent article (with photos) about clubfoot and the treatment for it:

The baby may also have dislocated hips and need double diapering at birth until he/she can have surgery. Baby will need corrective casting and possibly several surgeries. However check this out: it says celebrities born with clubfoot include: Kristi Yamaguchi (figure skater), Dudley Moore, Damon Wayans, Mia Hamm (soccer player), Troy Aikman (football player)! So you see it can be treated successful with no one being the wiser.
