What is Clubfoot and Limb Deformity? Clubfoot is a deformity in which an infant's foot is turned inward, often so severely that the bottom of the foot faces sideways or even upward. Approximately one infant in every 1,000 live births will have clubfoot, making it one of the more common congenital (present at birth) foot deformities. Clubfoot is caused by a shortened Achilles tendon, which causes the foot to turn in and under. I was one of those babies. Born with a severe clubfoot and limb deformity, I had my first surgery on both feet at just three months old. My family and I wished that we had someone with firsthand experience to tell us everything was going to be okay, and to help guide me through my treatment. With this said I have made it my mission to be that person for others. #NoOneWalksAlone
