Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 My wife and I have been taken a little by shock on the news that our son born on xmas day has talipes in his right foot but not left - his twin sister is fine. We were visited by a physio in hospital today and she ran through the Ponsetti treatment plan. I have some general questions. 1. We live in the UK and our treating physicians are based at the Birmingham Childrens Hospital. I cannot locate them on the Ponsetti site as qualified in the method - is the list out of date on that site? 2. It has been suggested that 7 days we caste is adequate but some sites refer to 5 days per caste. 3. Is it traumatic for the child - given he will have a sister of the same age who will not be having treatment. 4. What are the determining factors for the period when the bar stays in place - variously time periods of 2 - 5 years have been quoted. Apologies for these perhapd mundane queries but I have struggled to search the chat room properly. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
