Darbi didn't have or need the tenotomy and has been just

fine. According to the docs, hers was a true clubfoot as well. What

is it? 20% don't have the tenotomy? Pretty good size percentage if

you ask me.

My daughter also had a murky condition. not dx as cf but her foot

never went quite straight. you are lucky that your dr. recommended

treatment. due to an illness on the part of our first, non ponsetti

physician, we ended up canceling her scheduled tendon release and

ended up finding a ponsetti certified physician. she thought katie

would need the tenotomy but when seh took her fourth cast off she

told us we were done.
