Congenital clubfoot can be classified according to the etiology or severity of the disease. Besides the etiological causes, this review especially focuses on Dimeglio and Pirani classifications; the components and fictions behind the classifications are discussed in detail. Studies evaluating the reliability of the classifications are also cited. In summary, although the classifications of congenital clubfoot helped a lot especially in determining the severity of, and also in comparing the case series, no classification is perfect yet in describing the determinants of prognosis and guiding the treatment exclusively.
