Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 lol Someday they will make up their minds I noticed when I e-mailed Dr P last he referred to it that way ... I think maybe it is a better description than atypical Complex Clubfoot Just to let everyone know.... During my visit with Dr. Ponseti today he was training 4 other doctors from other countries, and was there, as well as all the nurses. Dr. Morcuende and Dr. Ponseti said that they are changing " Atypical Clubfoot " to " Complex Clubfoot " ... So they changed Sydney's condition to " Complex Clubfoot " which is the same as Atypical just a different name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 That's great that Dr is willling to confer! Good Luck today! novemberfable wrote: I know that Dr. P would be the best to see in this case. However, Dr. P mentioned that if he spoke with Dr. and told him what needs to be done, Dr. V would be able to do it. The only way I would need to go to Iowa is if the casts start slipping or the foot doesn't correct. Dr. P felt the foot would need 7-8 casts. We're going to see Dr. V this afternoon for our first visit. Hopefully he's treated cases as severe as this before. We'll see. I'll keep you all posted.
