"Clubfoot" was a common birth defect. It still is, but we learned that simply putting a cast on an infant's foot will fix it quickly and permanently.

Yeah, so it makes sense for authors to use it... it just gets boring to see the same one across multiple books.

I think I've read a book where the main character was missing an arm or hand- but now I can't remember what it was!

Interesting! That would be a nice change from a foot.
