Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 We go to the Shriner's hospital in Greenville, SC and they give us the braces and adjust them for us. We go back on Decemeber 2 and I will ask Dr. Westberry about the shoes then. He may want us to get them. The last time we went he said that our daughter may need to have the tendon transfer and I want to try everything to keep that from happening. Thanks again for the information. > > Here's 's website. > > http://mdorthopaedics.org/ > > Markell vs. > > > > > > > > This may sound like a stupid question, but my daughter has the > > Markell shoes on her braces.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Here's 's website. http://mdorthopaedics.org/ Markell vs. This may sound like a stupid question, but my daughter has the Markell shoes on her braces. Looking back over the posts I see that a lot of the children have the shoes. What is the difference and does anyone know of a website or someplace that I could see a description and maybe a picture.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Sure. We're in our second pair and love them. Our daughter has atypical club feet and Dr. Ponseti recommended we put her in them instead of the Markell's. We're glad we had the opportunity. 's hands are blessed.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 You know... if it were me, I'd go see Dr. Ponseti. He would know if the surgery were really necessary. And the shoes from aren't covered by any insurance at this time and I haven't heard of any one getting them through shriners for free either. But you never know! Keep us informed!

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 Well, if Dr. Westberry thought that they might help her then we could always buy them over the internet and take them to him to have them adjusted. We may contact Dr. Ponseti if Dr. Westberry does recommend the surgery anytime soon. Thanks for your help. > > > Here's 's website. > > > http://mdorthopaedics.org/ > > > Markell vs. > > > > > > > > > > > > This may sound like a stupid question, but my daughter has > the > > > Markell shoes on her braces.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 If you're having doubts about her progress, you might be well served to contact Ponseti now, sending photos, phone call or even consider going there. By the time a doctor thinks she needs the surgery it may be too late to try the non-surgical option. BTW I have been pleased with our shoes as well. s.

Guest guest Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 from what I know the sandals aren't going to change how your daughter's feet are responding to treatment. They were developed because many atypical feet just don't stay in the Markell shoes well at all. And there are those babies who get sores even when their feet are fully corrected who have gone to them. If there are problems with her feet staying corrected you might do well to consult with Dr. Ponseti and see if there might be something that can be done correction wise and then go to the s if needed.

Guest guest Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 We go to Dr Westberry too. We go back for a visit on the 18th to get the 3week casts off and ready for the shoes. We've really enjoyed Dr. Westberry. Have you had the same luck? > > > Here's 's website. > > > http://mdorthopaedics.org/ > > > Markell vs. > > > > > > > > > > > > This may sound like a stupid question, but my daughter has > the > > > Markell shoes on her braces.
