The exact reason why clubfoot occurs is not known, but the condition may be inherited. The chance of having a clubfoot is doubled if either parent or elder siblings also have it.
Clubfoot may be linked to-

- Abnormal bones- Bone abnormality in terms of shape, size, or position result in club foot.
- Maternal smoking during pregnancy.
- Abnormal positioning in the uterus during pregnancy. But this is not usually considered a ‘true’ club foot.
- Spinal deformities such as spina bifida or other neuromuscular diseases.
