Guest guest Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 Hi ee, I would have thought that this is very similar to unilateral clubfoot. My son for instance has one clubfoot (5.5 out of 6 in severity apparently) and one unaffected foot, I guess you can hardly have more different levels of severity... He still wears the DBB and the clubfoot is currently about half a size smaller than the other one (UK sizes 8 and 8.5 at 3 1/2 years old). I think the main difference between unilateral and your son's case will probably be that both feet are in casts to start with and that the less affected foot will be in a holding cast while the other one catches up. Take care, with (3y) and Alister (3y, RCF, Ponseti method, UK) --- number23 wrote: > or others..... the new baby here, Garrison, one > foot is very " loose " and goes to normal position > very well an easily, even dorsiflextion is really > good.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Maddie's right foot is worse than her left. The left was very flexible and the right was very stiff. Her left foot corrected before her right, and it was held in a holding cast until the right one got fully corrected. Only her right foot needed the tenotomy. The only thing I've noticed is her right foot is at least a 1/2 inch smaller than her left. Hope this helps. - Michele 5/18/02 and Maddie 9/6/05 bcf s 20/7 number23 wrote: or others..... the new baby here, Garrison, one foot is very " loose " and goes to normal position very well an easily, even dorsiflextion is really good. The other I cannot turn around or dorsiflex to normal. What is the general prognosis of a pair of feet with such different levels of severity as far as treatment and long term results? Is this a type of case where one might grow smaller/bigger than the other or anything else of that nature? Any advice, suggestions, general comments?

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Hi ee, Can't answer too many of those questions, but had one foot that was quite a bit stiffer than the other and it took 2-3 more casts to correct (can't recall exactly how many now!). The other foot was in a holding cast while the left foot caught up. Carol Beth? or others..... the new baby here, Garrison, one foot is very " loose " and goes to normal position very well an easily, even dorsiflextion is really good. The other I cannot turn around or dorsiflex to normal. What is the general prognosis of a pair of feet with such different levels of severity as far as treatment and long term results? Is this a type of case where one might grow smaller/bigger than the other or anything else of that nature? Any advice, suggestions, general comments? Thanks, ee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
