SPLATT Operation and some advice please

[Guest guest]

Hello to everyone,

I am not a regular poster but do read all the emails. I just wanted

to share our families exciting day with the group.

Sam who is now 3 1/2 yrs old was born with Bilateral Clubfeet. He had

is first Op at 3 months over. The the last three years his right foot

once again turned quite significantly (his left foot corrected

beautifully with plastering.) He has now had another operation called

a SPLATT(equivelant to ATTT I believe.) After 6 long weeks he has

finally had his plaster removed, it is amazing he his has this

gorgeous straight foot with a heel and arch, something he has never

had. He walked on it from day one of plaster removal but due to

haveing his knee straight for such a long time tends to favour it a

little, we have been told once he strengthens his leg he will be

write.

I suppose our big concern now is relapse. I was hoping if anyone had

been through anything similar with there child at the same age how it

has since progressed and any tips.

Warmest Regards
