Guest guest Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 hey! my name is and my 13 month old daughter, Grace, has just had her surgery for the heel cord release and is on her last cast. her doctor has been wonderful. she had a pretty severe case of bilateral clubfoot. and he did casting at first then she went to the DBB for 4 months and then he did the tendon release on her left foot only at first. he thought her right foot would be ok. then changed his mind her last visit and did the right foot release. but... he does not recommend her going to the DBB for even only at night after this last cast is removed. i think it may be important for her to have the DBB for at least night time till she's 2-3 years old so to reduce the risk of relapse. i have joined another board for clubfeet and also wanted the opinion of this board. so any help would be greatly appreciated. i have even thought of putting her in the DBB myself without her dr's knowledge. the dbb is not covered under my insurance anyways. any thoughts? thank you for listening and for your time. mommy to Grace 12-03-03 BCF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
