Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hello, all, Thanks to everyone's excellent advice we sent pics to Dr. P of Evan's feet (8-17-00, bilateral cf, tenotomy age 3 mo, FAB until age 2, now relapsing?). He emailed right back (the man is amazing) and said that we should try recasting for the relapse and then back into the FAB. If this failed, then the only alternative is ATTT. So I called our Dr. here in Seattle who is a Ponseti believer! He was happy that we had contacted Dr. P., however, he is not sure that Evan has a true relapse as his feet are still remarkably flexible. And this is true. It is just when he starts to walk that they crank in. They do point in when he sits with feet straight out in front but when hanging down at a 90 degree angle, they look GREAT. Our dr's opinion is that Evan has overactivity of the anterior tibialis and that casting may not help this at all. He thinks the only answer is ATTT. Our doc is going to consult with another Ponseti trained dr. in the practice and get back to me. So, of course, we don't know what to do! This is SO frustrating and time is going by. Anyone have experience with overactive anterior tibialis? and Evan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
