Guest guest Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I just stumpled across this group and was so glad to have found it. My little boy was born June 19, 2005 with a club foot on the left and Metatarsus Adductus on the right. He was in weekly cast for his first month and up until now the doctor has had us manipulate his foot each time we change his diaper rather than put him in casts. Two weeks ago he was back in a cast for a week because the doctor felt it was getting tighter. I have never read anywhere of the parents doing the manipulation...has anyone here done it? We just found out that he will need surgery to cut the heel cord, November 14. Has anyone had experience with that? I really have no idea what to expect.
