Abstract
Background: Assessment of the foot is an essential part of the newborn examination. Foot abnormalities range from an isolated deformity due to intrauterine positioning to a functional impairment due to a structural malformation. The purpose of this article is to review assessment, abnormal findings, and current treatment options of common foot deformities.
Evidence acquisition: A review of literature was conducted using keywords in PubMed, Google Scholar, and CINAHL databases from 2018 to 2023.
Results: Although assessment techniques for the neonatal foot remain the same, recent nonsurgical treatment options are available for a variety of neonatal foot deformities. Early recognition allows for proper evaluation of foot deformities and corrective measures.
Implications for practice and research: Neonatal providers equipped with knowledge of common foot problems can provide support and anticipatory guidance to families.
