What is idiopathic congenital clubfoot?

Congenital means that the patient is born with it and idiopathic means it is of unknown cause. Clubfoot is known as Talipes Equinovarus - where the ankle and foot are in an atypical position (talipes) in that the foot points downward at the ankle (equinus) and the heel of the foot is turned inwards (varus).
