Tendon cut, what actually happens? Advice please

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

After a long haul with an Atypical foot and a seriously wiggly

little girl! We resorted to casting her good foot too!! This stopped

her kicking the cast off. This has worked a treat and finally

getting to the finish line!

So now Ive been told they are booking the theatre for her tendon to

be cut. But Im not sure what to expect.

What actually happens.

Will they sedate her? Or give her any anaethetic?

Will I be present? Im abit squeamish!!

Will the cast go straight on top of the cut? Or do they put a

dressing on?

Will she be in any pain for a day or two?

Anything I need to know or do?

Any advice appreciated please. Im based in the UK with a recommended

Ponsetti doc.

Also anything I need to get in for the boots, eg what socks are best?

Thanks

Julzd and Aurora
