UPDATE ON Ponseti reply on karen legs

[Guest guest]

I just want to share with you the good news. I feel so happy thanks

god. When i sent Dr. Ponseti again the pictures he requested for

to confirm if she has atypical clubfoot or not. He answered me

yesterday that she does not have and she has a 15 degree dorsiflexion

and there is no need to worry. All i have to do is just change her

angle to 50 degrees for the right clubfoot. Thanks christine very much

for the info you gave me for changing the angels. I was able to change

them myself

Heidi,

I was wondering how long it took Dr. Ponseti to answer your email. I

sent him a slew of pictures last Tuesday asking him to give his

opinion on my son's treatment. He has been in serial casting for a

little over three months now and it appears as though he has a long

way to go until he is ready for the tenotomy and DBB. My doctor says

he is using the Ponseti method but it seems as though this first step

in the process is taking longer than it should. On Dr. Ponseti's web

site it said 9 weeks at the most! Waiting for a response is so hard

when I am doubting our doctor's capabilities.---

Thanks,

If you son has been in casts 3 months already I'd say your dr. is NOT using the

true Ponseti Method. Don't panic, Dr. Ponseti WILL get back to you but since

this board started he's swamped! Which is good you know, but just peace of

mind he will not neglect your letter.
