Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 Hi Everyone, My name is and I have a 3 1/2 year old boy who has a right club foot. He was born six weeks early. He had casting at 2 days old, went through 2 tentonomies, DBB and at 3 wouldn't tolerate them anymore. He is very active. Now we might be having a relapse. has been tripping and falling a lot so I brought it up to our Dr. at our last appointment. He looked at his foot and said it could be turning in a little. Worst case senerio is that he will have a tendon transfer and be in a full leg cast for six weeks. We are going back in Oct. to have x-rays and also they will put pads on the bottom of his feet to see how his foot lands.The Dr also said that all of this could be a growth spurt. Anyone else with an older child gone through this? Oh, we live in Springfield, MA and go to Shriner's hospital to see Dr. Mack. thanks and (rt club foot, Ponseti method) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
