A Ponseti miracle

Farley's left foot was clubfoot at birth. It was corrected employing the Ponseti approach by Dr Michael Colburn of Kaiser (Walnut Creek, CA). He wore a Ponseti-Mitchell brace for four years (nights/naps). The payoff is a gorgeous, typical, fully-functioning foot that hasn't slowed him down!

My daughter was born with her proper foot searching like this when she was born practically seven years ago. I'll post some recent feet photos soon for you all. (These aren't her feet -- these were grabbed from the web).
If you want some thing to Google for in the meantime, she was treated via the Ponseti Technique by The Man himself, Dr. Ignacio Ponseti in at the University of Iowa. I've also met some of the other practitioners of the Ponseti Technique at an orthopedic conference, including Dr Shafique Pirani and Dr John Herzenberg. All three of these physicians are absolutely wonderful men.

Since he only wears these to sleep, I by no means get photos and figured we'd regret that some day! This is to correct his clubfoot, which was treated by the non-surgical Ponseti method. He's practically two here. For a lot more information, go to www.ponseti.info
