Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Ok...I'm trying to figure out what the " best " mode of treatment will be for Jake. According to what Dr Dietz said, when the child relapses at over 3 yrs of age, it's better to do the ATTT surgery. After reading 's link, Dr Ponseti agrees with this. My question is, after ATTT surgery, do the kids need the dbb anymore? According to Dr Ponseti's article in 's link, the child could still relapse after ATTT surg and need further surgeries. Obviously I'd like to avoid this possibility...so is it worth it to keep Jake in the dbb after his surgery? (of course he'd need new larger shoes and a longer bar...his current set-up is way to small for him now) I'll ask Dr Dietz at our pre-op appt in a couple weeks, but I was wondering if anyone here had any opinions. Thanks, Kassia mommy to 3/22/01 (Lt club foot, ATTT surg 4/27/04) and 11/22/02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
