A substantial minority of children with idiopathic clubfoot show neurodevelopmental difficulties. Children with idiopathic clubfoot might present additional difficulties in motor skills, perception, and language. Children with idiopathic clubfoot and marked neurodevelopmental symptoms show poorer parent-reported clubfoot treatment satisfaction. Neurodevelopmental difficulties should be considered in clinical practice of idiopathic clubfoot.
