Pictures of Clubfeet - Views Needed For Consultation - Dr. Ponseti

[Guest guest]

OK Everyone - I took this from 's post which had emails from

Dr. Ponseti in them. In this paragraph, he explains exactly what

kind of photos he needs for consultation. So this is from the horses

mouth so to speak. I also know he wants to see the soles of the feet

too although this is not addressed in the paragraph. But I thought

it was interesting to note how he explained how and what to take pictures of.

" The views I would like to see are her standing from the front and from the

back in her bare feet on a hard surface (not carpet). I would like

to see from her knees down. Also have her lie on her back and keep

her knee straight while you place the palm of your hand against her

foot and gently push the foot up into dorsiflexion. Take a side

view of her each foot in this position. Does she have bilateral

clubfeet or is only one foot involved? "
