The type and extent of surgery depends on how severe the deformity is. The defect involves tight and short tendons around the foot and ankle. The surgery involves lengthening some tendons and shortening other tendons, in order to place the bones and joints in normal positions. A cast is applied to the baby's foot after surgery to maintain its position while it heals.
