Hi,
But the decision on surgery versus casting/bracing depends on many factors, like the type of deformity, whether the deformity is manipulate-able, treatment received so far, and its response. It is common for children with deformities like club foot to undergo surgery even before 1 year.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
