Hello, My baby boy was born with congenital bilateral vertical talus (also known as rocker bottom feet). We have been doing corrective casting since he was 3 weeks old. He had surgery to finish correcting hos feet a month ago. Now he is on his last set of casts before we start his shoes and bar brace (Ponseti bar). Just wondering if anyone on here has a lo that's been through the casting and brace already or are going through it now? He also has a heart arrhythmia along with an AVSD. His Cardiologist believes he will outgrow those. Anyone elses lo outgrow their heart defects?

    my son has a right clubbed foot. and is also doing the Ponseti method. he had casts on for 4  weeks starting at one week old. then went to braces. then had a surgery January 25th to clip his achilles tendon. he had to wear a cast for three weeks straight after. Monday, he goes and gets his cast taken off and back to braces we are.

    Our DS has Bilateral Club Feet. He was born 12/19/11 and has been receiving the Ponseti method from Shriners since he was 3 weeks old. He has had 5 sets of casts and last week he had his tenotomy. He's currently in the last set of casts that last 3 weeks. We go back in March to have them removed and get his Dennis Brown Bar shoes. Also, we were told that his feet are "rigid"/severe. So far his progress has been great. I'm so excited to be able to give him a real bath again!! Good luck with everything!
