Your question needs to be addressed by a pediatric orthopedic specialist. We are not versed in that specialty.

Dear Manoj:

I have a 28 month old who was born with severe club feet.  Casting his feet to different degrees for approximately eight months, surgery and AFO braces have corrected his feet tremendously.  If in your geographical area, Childrens Hospital of Orange County has an excellent ortho clinic.  Or, you may be able to get a referral from them to a pediatric orthopedist in your area.  I hope this information is helpful to you and wish you the best.

Your question in the area of pediatric orthopedics is beyond the scope of this Forum. Dr. Vinton and I answer questions about child behavior - we really can't address your situation.

Sincerely,
Dr. Kennedy
