hip problems and a strange toe?

[Guest guest]

hi everybody!

i really enjoy this ponseti forum. i am reading everything but not writing

so much ( my english is not so good, as you can see *lol*)

to be honest with you all i'm now asking you some questions for another

clubfoot mum who thinks she is much more bad in english that i am *lol*

she wonders if it is common for children with clubfoot to have problems

with the hips also? her 6 months old daughter has recently been at a check

up and the doctor thought it was some problems with the hips cause they

were clicking and moved not as they should. she is now waiting for an

orthopedic check up next week to see if there is any problems with the

hips. does anyone here have any experience about problems with the hips

combined with clubfoot? does anyone knowes if it's possible to combine the

treatment of a hip problems and the dbb?

and i've got a question for you too *lol*

my son have very curved big toes. is anyone else having that too? i noticed

it some days ago. the outermost part of the toes (the part with the nail

on) is pointing straight up in the air when he stands on his feet. the rest

of the toes are looking normal, besides they're pointing inwards, but as i

know is that not so unusal and as long it's just the toes and not the hole

forefoot should i not worry. so does anyone here have some experience of

curved toes? please tell me if it is common and if i can do anything to

straighten them? it looks like the tendon is too short so i use too

bend/stretch the toes when the dbb is off.

that was all for now and i hope you can understand some parts of my post )

plenty of big hugs from sweden!
