Brief Answer:
Explained below
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I have seen your baby’s photo.
On left side there is definitely varus,
Some more photos in different angle will help to confirm CTEV.
Another possibility can be tibial hemimelia leading to varus [inward position of foot]
For this x ray of lower limb will help in diagnosis.
CTEV is completely curable.
CTEV can be treated with plaster in early stage.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you good health.
Take care.
