Re: One more question about the DBB

[Guest guest]

Jenn,

I think that this advice should come from Dr. Ponseti.

My concern is for the foot that was operated on. I am not worried

about his other foot (the one that's slipping) because Dr. P will be

able to correct it with casting, but the foot that had the surgery

is in a completely different situation. It may or may not respond

well to casting, so it could be a risk in allowing potential relapse

by not having it braced.

I think this is one decision that's best to leave to Dr. P once he

knows the whole situation.
