The affected feet have a distinct club-like appearance, where the feet are contracted to the medial side. The medial side contains fibrotic tissue, which contains an increased amount of collagen deposited by cells through fibrosis. As a result, the tissue of the medial side appears as stiff to orthopaedic practitioners, and clubfoot is frequently reported as contracted and stiff in the literature without any...
