Guest guest Posted April 13, 2004 Report Share Posted April 13, 2004 My wife and I just found out about our son due on Sep 4, he has moderate to severe bi-lateral clubfoot. We just had the amnio today to rule out other issues but the Dr. believes it is isolated due to everything else looking ok. I have done some research in the last couple of days and it seems the Dr Ponseti method is what we would prefer. Can this be utilized with severe bilateral clubfoot? We are in Phx Az and would also like to know if there is anyone closer than Southern CA who practices this method? Also, surgery always seems riskier, but is it in a severe case, and does it work? Just want to speak with someone who knows first hand what we are going through. and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My unborn son -- who we also decided to call Zachary -- was diagnosed with club feet last month. Just wanted to say hi. I'm sure the other members here can give better information, as I'm a " newbie " here myself. > > Dedet > > > > > > My wife and I just found out about our son due on Sep 4, he has > moderate to severe bi-lateral clubfoot.
