Extreme Dorsiflexion of right food seen on 20 week ultrasound

I wonder if someone could give me some reassurance. At our 20 week scan we were told that everything is ok with baby except the right foot appeared to have talipes (clubfoot) and the tib and fib in that leg are also shorter.
We got our heads round the treatment for clubfoot and went to the fetal medicine appointment today. We were rescanned and they said that everything else looks ok with baby. But the right foot appeared to be extremely dorsiflexed (foot pushed up against the leg) and the tib and fib are still measuring shorter than the left side. They are 5mm shorter.
The consultant said he had never seen this before and had no idea why it has happened or what it means. The baby is breech so it could be that the babies foot got squished, but i think the is unlikely as the leg is shorter. He also said it’s possible there are some bones missing in the ankle area. But he couldn’t tell us anything and we have been booked for a re scan. We were asked if wanted to terminate :(
I cannot find any information online, and wondered if anyone has any experience at all in this. Thanks!

Hello, hope you're doing ok. Just wondering if you have had your baby yet and how you got on? An acquaintance of mine has been told her baby has talepes on one side.
