Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 No, clubfoot is more of a boy disease than a girl disease but I don't think experts know why yet. s. club boys and girls is it just a coincidence or are there more boys with club foot than girls...i was just scooting through the messages and it seemed that way. or maybe it is the boys who are breaking their mitchells..

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2004 Report Share Posted October 3, 2004 I was born with clubfoot and my 2 daughters were born with clubfoot. I guess we are out of the norm. Most of the kids I have met that have clubfoot have been girls. www.pediatric-orthopedic-foundation.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the intro to Dr. Ponseti's book, Fundamentals of Clubfoot Treatment: " The ratio of male to female is 3 to 1, and 40 per cent of cases are bilateral.
