Can anyone tell me what kind of clubfoot this is? Any others out there like it?

Hi Everyone,

I just discovered this group. Ordinarily, I'm the type who would seek out

support and

information from day one but since the baby was born I hardly ever get to the

computer anymore!

My daughter was born with bilateral club feet. They don't look like the other

club feet

I have found pictures of so far. Her toes pointed straight down and the feet

didn't

turn towards each other. Here's a link to pictures of her feet after the first

cast

change: http://www.personal.psu.edu/users/r/l/rlg187/clubfoot/

Devlin was casted at 12 days old, and she had a tenotomy at 7+ weeks old. She

is

being treated at DuPont Children's Hospital in Delaware. She is now 10 weeks

old and

will be getting her casts off and get a brace next week. I _think_ they're

planning to

give her the " Denis Brown " type of brace. It seems to me like that kind

wouldn't be as

good at maintaining the correction for this type of club foot as the " typical "

kind, but I

don't know much!

Is there anyone else out there with this type of club foot? Does anyone know

what it's

called? What type of bracing or splinting seems to work best in this kind of

case? Is

anyone else being treated at DuPont?

Thanks so much for your advice and support. I wish I had found this site

earlier!
