Re: Tenotomy for premature baby

[Guest guest]

The tenotomy should be ok at this point. As for shoes, will make

custom shoes specially designed for very small feet (among other things) but

they are very expensive and so far as I know insurance doesnt cover them (or

much of the cost) at this point. Your friend should get ahold of

if they are interested. The baby's foot would need to be measured before the

last cast because it takes time to make the shoes. Here is the website for

them: http://www.mdorthopaedics.org

Tenotomy for premature baby

Hello,

Hello, my friends daughter decided to come out when she was 29 weeks

in her mom's belly (-: they started the casting pretty soon after

that and she is about to have the Tenotomy a week from today. - this

is one week before her " original " due date.

Her parents already know they might have problems with shoes size.-

any ideas?

Dose anyone no if it is safe to go through tenotomy at this point?

Can it be too early for the ligaments?

Thanks
