In the past few decades, popularity of Clubfoot surgery in India has grown to a large extent.  More than 80-90% of the patients require clubfoot surgery. The surgery is very tough and requires talented and skilled surgeons. In India, there are highly experienced surgeons that work efficiently in giving the best result to their esteemed patients.

The surgery hardly takes 15 minutes as a small nick is made in the skin along with the crease above the heel bone. After the surgery, the infant will be placed back into a cast for about 2-3 weeks before transitioning into special shoes and a brace.
