Etymology

The term 'clubfoot' originates from the combination of 'club' and 'foot'. The word 'club' connotes something that is thick or blunt, while 'foot' is self-explanatory, referring to the part of the leg. Historically, this term has been in use since the 16th century when it began to describe the deformity due to the resemblance of the twisted foot to a club. In medical literature, the condition is referred to as talipes, which comes from the Latin words 'talus' (ankle) and 'pes' (foot). The awareness and understanding of clubfoot have evolved over the centuries, with significant advances in treatment options emerging in the 20th century, including the Ponseti method, which has transformed the lives of many afflicted individuals.
