Mommy to 12/17/98 and Christian 1/30/04 _____ From: Number23 Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 2:20 PM To: nosurgery4clubfoot Subject: Dr. Reports Hi All, I thought I would share what I got in the mail today from Dr. P's office. Everett (now 11 mo. 3 weeks!) " ....has 25 degrees of ankle dorsiflexion and 70 degrees of abduction. The distance between the medial malleous and navicular is 1 1/2 cm. The talo-calcaneal angle is 24 degrees. He stands with the heels in neutral and cruises. The cavus and adductus are well corrected. " I'm not entirely sure what all this means exactly but I think it's good news! ??? Now the potentially bad news, they want to see again on Octo. 25th and I'm not sure why (he saw Dr. P last month also). I've emailed the office to find out why. Please pray for my little boy, would you? His feet have been hurting a lot lately. Thanks. shaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2004 Report Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi ee, I'm so glad that your worry over having to go back was a false alarm, what a relief for you! It sounds to me in my very 'un'medical opinion that you have a good report from Dr Ponseti for Everett. I don't know if ankle dorsiflexion is the same as heel dorsiflexion, but that has to be a minimum of 15 degrees that the foot can flex upwards towards the shin and you've got 25 deg, and his abduction (external rotation) is spot on at 70 degrees. Sorry, no idea about those distances and the talo-calcaneal angle, which is something to do with bones in the foot. Cavus and adductus are two terms used to describe the angling of the front of the foot and ankle inwards, the other is 'equinus', which refers to the heel pulling up. If he stands in neutral and he says the cavus and adductus are well corrected, then his foot is straight. So it doesn't sound like you have anything to worry about. Hope this helps a little, big hugs to your two boys from ! and 24 Jan 2003, bilateral cf www.clubfoot.co.za Dr. Reports Hi All, I thought I would share what I got in the mail today from Dr. P's office.
