Guest guest Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 We are in S.C. and have been treated with the Ponseti method since 1999, when our first son was born with severe bilateral clubfeet. The treatments were very effective and the feet were corrected in the normal time, using the normal Ponseti means. About one year ago, he began walking on his toes from time to time and continued to do this more and more. Finally, at our last check up, he was walking exclusively on his toes. The Ponseti surgeon says that this is a clear relapse and needs to be addressed. We do agree, as our son cannot continue to walk on his toes without significant damage. Right now, it looks like he will have a heel cord release, but that is not definite. More may be needed. Our question is has anyone on the list had a relapse this late in the game. We understand whatever procedure is done, our son will be in casts for some 5-6 weeks. We wanted to make contact with someone who may have gone through this at this age to know what to expect. Any response and encouragement would be greatly appreciated. and Driggers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
