Guest guest Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I know I am late to this discussion, but I wanted to say the Kai also has an extremely thing calf on his CF side. In fact, we call that his " chicken leg " .... as opposed to the chubby leg on the other side lol He has had ... something like 16 casts all together from birth to present ... I could be wrong about that total, but if I am it is only off by 1 or 2. His leg is also just a tad shorter than the other ... it don't know if it has always been that way or if it is a result of all the walking casts. Angel Re: Re: Dr. Update and thanks to all... , what an interesting thing to hear from Dr. Ponseti. has very thin calves (tons of casting!) where Everett's little calves are just as fat and plumb as you could want on a kid ( Ponseti casting). s. Recently, at a checkup, Dr. Ponseti and a visiting doctor noted that her calf is thinner than average. And then Dr. Ponseti said that the difference could be due to her having had so many casts. I had never heard that from him before. I had always thought that casting itself couldn't cause atrophy. But, there it is; he said it.
