Congenital clubfoot.
1. Clubfoot is more common in males and 50% of cases are bilateral. 2. Contact and reassurance with the parents is important during a lengthy procedure, such as bilateral club foot releases. 3. Edema is the most common complication of clubfoot repair, so it is important to monitor the infant closely postoperatively for circulatory problems.
