Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi all, On Monday had her 2nd appt w/ Dr. Ponseti. As a reminder, her first Dr. put 4 casts on her, then AFO, then back to cast. After that 5th cast I called Dr. Ponseti for an appt. Dr. P evaluated week ago and put on her 6th cast. He noticed her foot was rocker when he took off her 5th cast. had her tenotomy on monday and it went well. I can't remember the name of the Dr. who performs the tenotomy w/ Dr. Ponseti, but he was amazed to see her rocker foot. He said their office rarely sees rocker feet. I asked him and Dr. Ponseti if poor casting procedures cause rocker feet, and to my dismay, it does. Hopefully it will be corrected after this tenotomy and cast. Needless to say, I am frustrated that I waited to take to Dr. Ponseti, and I am annoyed that this occurred. I am interested to find out if other children developed rocker feet, and if it improved after the tenotomy and casting. I will be back at Dr. Ponseti's office on the 30th for the brace.
