[Fwd: RE: Welcome to nosurgery4clubfoot]

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I am Ed Cayetano from the Philippines. I have a 3 week old son born with

bilateral clubfeet. The orthopaedic surgeon referred to us says that my son

has idiopathic clubfeet and not congenital clubfeet. My son Marco was

immediately put on casts on his 2nd day and we've had 3 cast changes

already.

>From what I have researched on the internet so far (still have a lot to go),

I think the Ponseti method is the way to go - but it seems our doctor is

unaware of this method.

I would like to post questions to the group, or can I do it here now?

Some immediate questions are:

1. How does one know for sure if its not congenital clubfeet but rather

idiopathic?

2. Do you know / recommend any doctors here in the Philippines who

practices the Ponseti method?

Thanks.

Ed
