Re: March of Dimes Clubfoot Fact Sheet!?!?!

[Guest guest]

-I too saw this March of Dimes fact sheet and in it says that

clubfoot can reaccure up to the age of 7 years. I had never heard

that before from Dr. Ponseti in our discussions. Does anyone know if

that is true?

it might refer to the big growth spurt at 6 which could force the foot to

relapse. I know there is one... my oldest just went through it and 3

sizes of clothes! Argh!
