my son has got congenital clubbed feet by birth. At birth he was put in plasters so that they are easily mouldable at that stage and correction is much faster. He was in plasters for a year and then they advised surgery. Discussed this issue with a lot of orthopaedic surgeons who also said that even after a surgery there could be chances of a relapse and he has to wear special shoes for at least 5 -6 years.. So we dropped the idea of surgery and continued with his reversible shoes made of tough leather. Well, as of now , after wearing the shoes for almost 8 years, his feet are nearly 80 per cent correct. Nobody can really make out ever if they have a close look at it.. have also been massaging his feet and also exercising regularly to achieve what he is today. Nevertheless, we should not neglect anything and start treatment from the beginning so that there is no delay. Please share your experiences too with me. Im sure we will all gain from this.
