Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi Stacee. I have pretty much the same issue. My little guy's foot has a mild c shape to it and he still has a couple of creases. I emailed the pictures to Dr. Ponseti. He didn't mention anything about the creases, but he did say that the c shape is to be corrected with one or two more casts (my little one is currently in the s at 23/7). If you want, we can swap photos of the foot for comparison. > > I'm curious as to what exactly a corrected foot should look like...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Hi Stacee, I'll try to post some pics of Graces feet later, she's down for her nap right now and has a cold so should be able to get her to cooperate, she's pretty pliable right now. She's 18 mos so a bit older but she has unilateral so I will post some of her cf (right) and her noncf for you to see. D/h is remodelling our bathroom (a novice) and is doin the plumbing right now, so it isn't really pleasant around here lol so better go & Grace > > I'm curious as to what exactly a corrected foot should look like...

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I would love to! I'm sure 's foot is fine, but I'm a worrier by nature. If you want, send them to my email address s.schwander@... and I will reply with mine! Stacee > Hi Stacee. I have pretty much the same issue.
