Ans: D
Feedback:
Treatment of clubfoot is begun as soon as the diagnosis is made. When treatment is initiated during the first few weeks of life, a nonoperative procedure may be effective. Serial manipulations and casting are used gently to correct each component of the deformity. Surgery, muscle-relaxing medications, and skeletal traction are not primary treatment for clubfoots.
