Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 Hi Angel- My son had a normal clubfoot not the same hard to fix that Kai had if I remember correctly. Anyway Dr. P said the same thing about my son's clubfoot (Medial Deviation). Do you notice when Kai stands that his toesturn slightly inward but not the whole foot? This is the way my son is on his clubfoot. Dr. Ponseti said it is very common in clubfoot children and to not worry about it. I still bring it up at every appt and am reminded not to worry about it! He never trips or anything like that because it is only the toes not half the foot. > >Reply-To: nosurgery4clubfoot >To: nosurgery4clubfoot >Subject: Medial Deviation ... >Date: Sun, 09 May 2004 04:28:25 -0000 > >I have been meaning to ask this for a while LOL This was Dr >Ponseti's response to my most recent set of pics: > > " The photos show Kai's right foot is well corrected except the toes >tend to deviate medially when he stands.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2004 Report Share Posted May 8, 2004 , Yes, that is exactly how it is. And I have examined the photos close and it is NOT the same as when his last two toes were rolling under, so perhaps it is just residual adductus?

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Angel- Well don't worry over it too much, I know easier said then done;) Just always keep an eye out that it is just the toes curving in and not the foot and I think all will be well! > >Reply-To: nosurgery4clubfoot >To: nosurgery4clubfoot > >Subject: Re: Medial Deviation ... >Date: Sat, 8 May 2004 22:17:36 -0700 > >, > >Yes, that is exactly how it is.
