Kids with club foot

Public online group

Welcome

Welcome to the group. Start by telling us a little about yourselves. And also what type of club foot your little one has and what if anything you've gotten done. Don't be afraid to ask questions. I'll go first My name is Jill and I live in Henderson, NV with my hubby and my daughter Hannah who was born with her left foot clubbed. At a week old we had her into a ped orthopedic and he started what's called the ponseti method. They put her foot into a cast rotating it slightly to start straigtening it out. She had to have five casts and the tendon lenghting surgery (it's really quick she was in the OR for thirty minutes) THen after the casts were done and her foot looked like a normal foot would just a little smaller than the other. SHe now wears corrective shoes she used to have to wear them 23 hrs a day but at 6 months of age she's only had to wear then to bed. She's developed normally so no worries there.
