Re: has anyone heard

From what I've read the clubfoot can either turn in our out. I read it on a

website when I was surfing when Aidan was diagnosed. I'll see if I can find

something more for you.

If you find something, I'd definitely like to see it. I don't want

to freak my friend out, but I know she is concerned. Plus, her

doctor is giving her the same speech mine did...it's positional.

Lucky enough for me that the other dr in my practice didn't believe

it and sent us to an ortho dr. I just want to make sure she doesn't

let it go too far.

I have heard of something called calcaneovalgus, a turning up and out

of the foot. I think I read somewhere that it often doesn't need

treatment.. except if it's part of a larger syndrome.. but I

honestly don't know. Just wanted to mention the term, in case it

might help to have a name to research.

Good of you to help your friend..
