title: Surgery for congenital deformities of the feet.
abstract: There are a multitude of congenital deformities that can occur in the feet. Some are very common and others are more remote. They can frequently be corrected with conservative care, such as splinting, casting, and various exercises over a period of time. Those that are not resolved by conservative measures can generally be surgically improved or corrected. A few conditions should be left for surgical resolution after maturity occurs.
