"Casting"The diagnosis has been made regarding Domenik's feet and treatment has commenced.
Dommy has been officially diagnosed with Metatarsus Adductus, secondary condition of Mild Club Feet. He also has internal tibial torsion and extremely slack knee's (the tibia rotates way too much)
He is in weekly casts for at least 6-8 weeks, then if it works onto night bracing and orthotics. If casting doesn't work it will mean surgery.... For now he will have half casts, this will be reviewed each week with the possibility of moving to full leg casts....
He was such a brave boy today when his feet were being cast - he was smiling and playing with a rubber toy most of the time, only getting a bit over it when the final touches were being put on the second foot...
