My son has a club foot on his right foot. Soon after delievery we did the casting process. This proved to not effective. So a surgery that would release all his tendons/ligaments in between his toes was done. Now it is 11 yrs later. He is able to do things like a normal boy, but as we go into his growing spurts and they are substantial, he is complaining of pain in his heels and knees. We had a meeting with a ortho doctor and he stated we might have to break his feet and have them realligned. Since he is in middle school and there doesn't seem to be any information on what happens post surgically for teenagers, I was wondering if this is common protocal. I don't want to have him do a surgery that is not going to help and draw attention to him needlessly. Can anyone point me in a direction?
