Adult with clubfoot treated whith PONSETI'S METHOD?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Are in this group parents of little boy or adult with clubfoot and treated

exclusively with Ponseti's method ??

How are the feet of the little-boy or adult?

How is their life?

These information are useful for know or expect our baby's future after

Ponseti's treatment.

Thank you very much

I have a little boy - age 3 right now - who has right clubfoot. He has one of

the toughest-to-keep-in-position cases of natural atypical clubfoot I am aware

of, and has been recasted every 6 months his whole life so far. However, this

has not stopped him one bit, and he runs, climbs, jumps and plays just like any

other child his age. The only time he has ever had pain was when his foot was

in relapse and he could not wear shoes - any kind - and for the first hour or so

after his most recent cast came off when he hadn't walked on his heel in 4

months and all of a sudden he was.

There are many stories out there of Ponseti corrected boys doing all the things

boys do .. and girls too!

Matteo,

The longest term study (30+ years) of clubfoot patients was done of

those treated with the method in Iowa. It found that the results are

good for patients all the way into adulthood.

At Dr. Ponseti's website, there is a video in the testimonials

section telling the story of one patient of Dr. Ponseti, following

him more than 40 years. There is film of him as a newborn, being

casted by Dr. Ponseti, and then observed through childhood. In the

last section (link below), you can see him jogging, working at his

job, and talking about how his feet are normal and pain free:

bfeet/testimonialvideos/clubfoot07.html

My daughter is 5 1/2, treated by Dr. Ponseti. She is starting soccer

next week. She takes ballet, runs, has no limitations. She has even

recently learned how to jump rope -- something she's very proud of! I

expect she will be able to do whatever she wants to do in sports as

she grows up.

I have a friend whose brother is in his early 30's. He had bilateral club

feet. He was treated with the ponsetti method, including a tenotomy, and

has had no problems. He was an exceptional athlete in school, and still

remains quite athletic. He thought it was strange that I thought it would

have been any different or that he might have arthritis in his ankles. I

felt much better after talking to him.

wow! You found one! That is too cool. Where was he treated? In

Iowa or elsewhere? If elsewhere, he is very lucky indeed because

very few docs practiced this method 30 years ago outside of Iowa.

Do you think he'd be interested in contacting parents either here or

by email? If he would be willing to tell parents about his

happiness, I think it could really help show that this method works,

and works better than anything else out there.

I for one would love to hear his story.

He was treated in New York somewhere. I'll find out by who. His mother

said they did not call it Ponsetti method, but the he did not have surgery

and had the casting that ponsetti kids have. I could ask his mother if

she'd be willing to write something on the board. I know he had a late

tenotomy, but no problems. We are big athletes and sports fans in my family

and I was worried about the small calf muscle thing. My friends brother has

very muscular legs. I was glad to hear that.
