Re: Anyone who didn't need tenotomy?

[Guest guest]

My is bcf and hasn't had the tenotomy. The right foot always was good

with dorsiflexion but we are still " watching " the left foot, which is on the

" hairy edge " of needing/not needing the tenotomy. Both Dr. Ponseti and our

local ortho here thought it best to take a wait and see approach. She has a

very mild rocker bottom which we are also watching. Lots of stuff to watch...

Re: Anyone who didn't need tenotomy?

,

was born with bcf too, and only needed a tenetomy (at Dr.

Ponseti's office) on her left foot. Her right foot just had enough

dorsiflexion to not deem it necessary. I don't think that not having

it (as long as the dorsiflexion is there) would be cause for a relapse.

There are several parents that post here whose kids didn't have the

tenetomy at all...I would be curious to know how many were bcf, and

how many were r or lcf, though...

My son is 18 months old today and has yet to need a tenetomy. He has

bilateral clubfeet but was blessed with loose ligaments! His

dorsiflexion is 15-20 degrees at least.

take care,
