Part 1. Congenital idiopathic clubfoot.
Although not life-threatening, clubfoot, a non-traumatic deviation of the foot, makes a strong impact on the infant, parents, and family. Serial casting with or without surgical intervention make up the medical plan. Nursing care needs to focus on emotional support of the family and education regarding the diagnosis, treatment plan, and daily care of an infant in a cast.
