Varus Foot Correction Treatment in Mumbai and Thane by Dr. Atul Bhaskar

Varus foot, also known as clubfoot varus, is a condition where a child’s foot turns inward, causing the heel to be positioned in an abnormal way. This condition can affect one or both feet and may lead to difficulty in walking and possible long-term deformities if not treated. Early intervention is key to ensuring proper foot development and preventing future complications. Dr. Atul Bhaskar, a leading pediatric orthopedic specialist, provides expert Varus Foot Correction treatment in Mumbai and Thane offering a tailored approach to correct this condition and promote healthy foot growth.

What is Varus Foot?

Varus foot refers to a deformity in which the foot turns inward, causing the sole of the foot to face towards the midline of the body. This can result in the ankle being misaligned and may lead to difficulty in walking or performing other activities. Varus foot may be congenital (present at birth) or acquired due to injury, neurological conditions, or other factors.

Causes of Varus Foot in Children

The causes of varus foot can vary, including:

  • Congenital Factors: Genetic factors or abnormalities during fetal development.
  • Neuromuscular Conditions: Disorders affecting muscle tone, such as cerebral palsy.
  • Trauma: Injuries to the foot or leg that disrupt proper alignment.
  • Infection or Inflammation: Conditions that may cause joint deformity or misalignment.
  • Postural Issues: Abnormal positioning of the foot during early development stages.

Signs and Symptoms of Varus Foot

Parents may notice the following signs in children with varus foot:

  • Inward turning of the foot, causing the toes to point toward the midline of the body.
  • Difficulty or inability to stand or walk properly.
  • Pain or discomfort when walking or standing.
  • Decreased range of motion in the foot or ankle.

If these symptoms are present, early diagnosis and treatment by a pediatric orthopedic specialist like Dr. Atul Bhaskar are crucial for optimal correction.

Dr. Atul Bhaskar offers a range of effective options for Varus Foot Correction treatment in Mumbai and Thane, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the condition. Treatment aims to realign the foot, reduce pain, and improve function.

1. Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Stretching and Manipulation: Gentle manipulation techniques to reposition the foot and improve flexibility.
  • Casting or Bracing: Use of specialized casts or braces to guide the foot into the correct position over time.
  • Physical Therapy: Strengthening exercises to improve muscle tone and joint flexibility, aiding in long-term correction.
  • Orthotic Devices: Custom foot orthotics to support proper alignment and relieve stress on the foot.

2. Surgical Intervention

In cases where non-surgical treatments are not effective or the deformity is severe, surgery may be recommended:

  • Tendon Release: Surgical procedure to release or lengthen tight tendons around the foot, improving range of motion.
  • Osteotomy: Bone realignment to correct misalignment of the foot and ankle.
  • Post-Surgical Rehabilitation: Intensive physical therapy following surgery to ensure proper healing and improve function
