Information on ClubFeet in Black and White

lindsey's Story

i had a baby in april and she was born with clud feet. i did not know until she was born. I have never heard about club feet until then. I was told about shriners and i took my baby girl there. they told me her feet were not that bad. They put cast on her for 1 month and now she is wearing the shoes with the brace. when she first got the brace she kicked them off every second now that she got used to them she does not anymore. she has to wear them all the time until she starts to learn how to walk and then she just wears them to bed for 3 years.

Hi, my son was born the end of January of 2007, with bilateral club foot. We didn't know until delivery. He began casting the first week at a local doctor who didn't have experience so he sent us to shriners in Lexington,KY. Derrick had the surgery at 2 months and is now in the brown bar. They had to put heal pads to keep him from kicking them off. He is doing good hopefully only one more month of the 23 hrs a day. They may have to repeat the surgery on the right foot though. With Gods help he will get us through. Good luck to you all.
