Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Hey, did they change it already? I went to read it and it says casting is effective in 95% of cases. > > After reading this, I clicked on the send us a message link and > sent them a message. > > > > > > > > Birth Defects > > > > RRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Okay, here's another one: anyone else want to write to these people and tell them they are doing it wrong? http://www.scoi.com/clubfoot.htm > > After reading this, I clicked on the send us a message link and > sent them a message. > > > > > > > > Birth Defects > > > > RRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 If only they would " clarify " the statistic by saying that it's specific to using the " Ponseti method " and not just any old casting. By the way- isn't the 95% statistic obsolete now? Shouldn't it be closer to 100% since they've been successful in treating the a-typical feet non-surgically as well? Or can't they say that until they've had study results published? I'd think it is unofficially 100% since they haven't had to do a PMR in Iowa in *years*. > I sent them that stat and told them to check Dr. Ponseti's website and info. Maybe the did! Oh can it be that easy??? > Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 I wonder if it is because they had several people send it in on the same day. We should try to do that for all sites that are posting mis- information. Certainly can't hurt! > > > After reading this, I clicked on the send us a message link and > > sent them a message. > > > > > > > > > > > > Birth Defects > > > > > > RRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2005 Report Share Posted September 6, 2005 Who the heck wrote this little paragraph??? Captain Brevity?!?? Yeah, sure, *A* cast applied shortly after birth just clears the whole thing right up! Way to clear everything up for parents! Sheesh! > RRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2005 Report Share Posted September 7, 2005 Something like 50% need further surgery after casting and a tenotomy... Birth Defects I'm just curious what the website said before it said 95% success rate? Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
