Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 , 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. kori At 03:34 PM 9/1/2005, you wrote: >Hi everyone! >I am mostly a lurker but have posted to a few newbies waiting for their >babies to come.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 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.
