& --

Sorry for not getting back to you for so long. I don't think there

is a question of loose ligaments. He always had a mild case -- was

in the 10% that did not need the the achilles tendon release.

Dr. H. did not try reducing the angle. We discussed it as an

option, but I think he felt that the overcorrection was such that

going out of them completely was the better option from a clinical

standpoint. Max seems to be doing fine. He has an appointment in a

week, so we'll know more at that time whether his flexibility is

being compromised.

Thanks for your response-

One more tidbit -- my son was treated by Dr. H from day 10 on. We

knew about the BCF at 18 weeks of pg, so I had lots 'o time to

research (and agonize over) treatment. No other ortho docs touched

him, so we started with a clean slate and were lucky to have a mild

case as well.

Sooo, that might explain the differing clinical approaches. Also,

from what I understand of the doc banter, Max's flexion is very good

indeed for a CF kid (or at least it was when Dr. H advised to

discontinue the B & B -- ;-) . . .
