8. Clubfoot

It is not uncommon for patients with Prune Belly syndrome to exhibit musculoskeletal malformations. Bilateral clubfoot can be fairly common among patients with this condition.

Clubfoot refers to a condition that is usually present at birth, where the foot appears twisted or rotated internally at the ankle. It is also known as talipes equinovarus or congenital talipes equinovarus. Luckily, it does not cause any pain or discomfort at first, before the child starts to stand or walk. The condition can often be easily treated soon after birth, in some cases even without surgery.
