An association between the occurrence of club foot and early
amniocentesis has been reported. The largest of these randomised studies was the Canadian Early and Mid-Trimester Amniocentesis Trial.
Data describing the neonatal outcome, focusing on this association, are
presented. Possible mechanisms for the association and the implications
for the development of club foot are discussed.
