Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 This may have been discussed previously but since my brain is often befuddled lately, I will ask again. For the parents that began Ponseti treatment late, how long per day did your children wear the DBB after the tenotomy? kelsey is scheduled for her tenotomy on Friday and will turn 1 while wearing that cast. She is very close to walking and if she has to wear those shoes 23 hours a day, my life will be unbearable. She hates them anyway and that is just from when she was wearing them at night. Does everyone else that has this brace have big bolts on the bottom? Dr. Von Stein has not yet looked at the DBB that we have since it was prescribed by Dr #1 but I do not see how Kelsey could possibly walk in these shoes with those big bolts on the bottoms of her feet. Also, on the tenotomy, does it go as easily and painlessly for older children as opposed to infants? Thanks in advance for any information.
