Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Katharine, can you describe what you mean by his foot comes up in an arch? Do you mean that the front of his foot points down, or the whole foot? Do not be afraid ... it does happen sometimes that the feet need recasted a time or two ... especially the stubborn ones! It does not mean that he will end up needing surgery or anything, just that his foot is a bit more difficult than usual Angel Caitlen 8/29/97 Arica 8/22/01 Kai 12/31/02 ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: nosurgery4clubfoot To: nosurgery4clubfoot Subject: Cavus deformity??? Date: Sat, 14 May 2005 01:14:36 -0000 Hello there, our sohn Lars, 7.5 m unilateral clubfoot (right) is doing very well with his shoes, no blisters or anything, he stays in the shoes. Our doc (Boston Dr, Yassir) sad that his heel came nice down, he has still graet flexibility but he starts to hold his feet in arch, his toes pointing down. Dr. Yassir sad that we will need maybe another cast if it will get worser. My ? is what can be a reason for it. Can we do anything to avoid this cast. Not that we mind but we are afraid that after cast this will come back again. Dr. Yassir also sad that often you can see better results when they start to stand. Lars loves to be hold in the standing position but he seems to take his clubfoot more often up than the other one. OMG I am propably only paniking without a reason but I can not stop myself. Any feedback please :-)) Thanks Katharine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 14, 2005 Report Share Posted May 14, 2005 Hello Angel, only the front of his foot is arching down and little in the inside. He is doing this also with his not clubfoot feet. When he stands (not by himself)he has a small arch,as he would stay on his heel and toes. I hope the cast will make it :-) Thanks again Katharine > Katharine, can you describe what you mean by his foot comes up in an arch? > Do you mean that the front of his foot points down, or the whole foot?
