How do I start my treatment?

Share your medical reports along with your age, symptoms and history. Our team consults senior specialists and sends a treatment plan, estimated cost, expected outcome and duration of stay. If you decide to proceed, we issue an official invitation letter for your medical visa and coordinate pickup, appointments, hospital and accommodation.

Do you charge for your services?

No. Our assistance is completely free for patients, and using our services does not increase your hospital bill. Hospitals pay us a coordination fee out of their existing margin.

Do you assist with visa and travel?

Yes. We issue the e-medical visa invitation letter free of charge and guide your travel planning so the journey is straightforward.

Can I bring a family member?

Yes. One attendant bed is included in the estimate, and up to two attendants can apply for linked medical attendant visas.

How can I make the payment?

Pay by card or in US dollars after arriving, or transfer directly to the hospital's official account before travel. Payment always goes to the hospital, never to us.

What happens after I return home?

We stay in touch for follow-ups. Your treating doctor remains available for online consultations during recovery, at no charge.

The short answer

Treating pediatric foot deformities like clubfoot in India costs USD 800 to 3,500, covering diagnosis, the Ponseti casting method or surgical correction, and follow-up bracing. Most children begin treatment within weeks of birth using non-surgical casting; surgery is reserved for severe or late-presenting cases. India's pediatric orthopedic teams offer this at a fraction of Western pricing, without compromising outcomes.

About Pediatric Foot Deformities Treatment

Pediatric foot deformities cover a range of congenital and developmental conditions where a child's foot is misshapen, twisted, or misaligned at birth or in early childhood. The most common is clubfoot (congenital talipes equinovarus), where the foot turns inward and downward. Other presentations include flat feet, high arches, and metatarsus adductus.

Early diagnosis, ideally within the first weeks of life, allows most cases to be corrected without major surgery. The Ponseti method, a series of gentle weekly castings followed by a bracing period, is the global standard of care and corrects the majority of clubfoot cases without an incision.

When surgery is needed

Surgical correction is reserved for children who present late, whose deformity is severe, or who do not respond fully to casting. Procedures range from a minor Achilles tenotomy (a small tendon release) to more involved soft tissue release or bone realignment surgery for complex or relapsed cases.

Why timing matters

Left untreated, foot deformities can lead to abnormal gait, chronic pain, and long-term mobility problems as the child grows. Treatment started early, ideally in infancy, has the best outcomes and the least invasive path.

Why patients choose India for this

Dedicated pediatric orthopedic teams

Hospitals run specialist clinics for congenital foot deformities, not general orthopedics treating children incidentally

Ponseti method expertise

Widely trained in the internationally-standard non-surgical technique, reducing the need for invasive surgery

Cost without compromise

A fraction of US/UK/Gulf pricing for the same technique and bracing protocols

Fast-track scheduling for infants

Casting programs can begin within days of medical visa approval, important given the early-treatment window

How Pediatric Foot Deformities Treatment is done

AssessmentPediatric orthopedic surgeon examines the foot and confirms severity/type of deformity
Weekly castingFoot is gently manipulated and cast, repeated weekly for 5-8 sessions (Ponseti method)
Tenotomy, if neededSmall procedure to release the Achilles tendon under local anaesthesia, followed by a final cast
Bracing beginsFoot abduction brace fitted, worn full-time initially then nights/naps for several years
Surgical correction, if requiredFor severe or relapsed cases, soft tissue or bone realignment surgery under general anaesthesia
Follow-upA final check-up confirms healing and bracing fit, with a monitoring plan given to the family before they fly home.

Recovery and what to expect

Day of tenotomyFinal cast applied; babies are typically comfortable within hours.
Week 1-2 after casting endsCast removed and the foot abduction brace fitting begins.Cast removed and the foot abduction brace fitting begins.
First 3 months of bracingFull-time bracing, around 23 hours a day, with parents managing fit and skin checks.
Years 1-4Nighttime and naptime bracing continues to prevent relapse as the child grows.
Post-surgical cases4-6 weeks in a cast, followed by a gradual return to weight-bearing with physiotherapy.

Frequently asked questions

What age is best for treating clubfoot?

Treatment ideally starts within the first 1-2 weeks of life, when the foot is most flexible and casting is most effective.

Will my child need surgery?

Most cases, over 90%, respond fully to the Ponseti casting method. Surgery is reserved for severe, late-presenting, or relapsed cases.

Is the treatment painful for the baby?

Casting is gentle and not painful. The tenotomy, when needed, is done under local anaesthesia and babies typically settle quickly afterward.

How long do we need to stay in India?

Most families stay 5-8 weeks to complete the weekly casting series and begin bracing, though this varies by case severity.

Can both feet be treated at the same time?

Yes, bilateral clubfoot is common and both feet are typically cast and treated during the same visit.

What happens if we skip bracing after returning home?

Skipping the bracing phase is the leading cause of relapse. Consistent use over several years significantly reduces that risk.

Will my child walk normally afterward?

With timely treatment and bracing compliance, most children go on to walk, run, and play without functional limitation. Outcomes vary with the severity of the original deformity.
