the child is unable to place the foot correctly.</li></ol><p>Prenatal diagnosis</p><p>The clubfoot of the baby can be diagnosed before birth with ultrasound.</p><p>About 10 percent of clubfeet can be detected as early at 13 weeks in a pregnant woman.</p><p>Diagnosis after birth</p><p>Clubfoot is usually diagnosed after a baby is born.</p><p>All babies are routinely examined and checked over by a doctor shortly after they are born.</p><p>A foot x-ray may be done.</p><p>Computerized tomography scan (CT or CAT scan) may help.</p><p>There have been some changes to the treatment for clubfoot over recent years.</p><p>Major surgery was often a frequent treatment used.</p><p>The results of medical researches have indicated that other treatments without major surgery, especially a treatment known as the Ponseti method, appear to provide the best long-term treatment for most children.</p><p>Most cases of clubfoot are successfully treated with non-surgical methods that may include a combination of stretching, casting, and bracing.</p><p>Treatment usually begins shortly after birth.</p><p>Ponseti method should be started as soon as possible after birth when it is proven to be the easiest time to reshape the foot.</p><p>Gentle stretching and recasting is done weekly to normalize the position of the foot.</p><p>Generally, five to 10 casts are needed.</p><p>The final cast will stay in position for 3 weeks.</p><p>Once the foot is correctly in position, the child will wear a special brace nearly full time for 3 months.</p><p>The child will use the brace at night and during naps for up to 3 years.</p><p>Frequently the problem is a short tight Achilles tendon and a simple surgery is needed to release it.</p><p>Surgical Treatment</p><p>Surgery may be needed to correct the ligaments, tendons, and joints in the foot and ankle.</p><p>Even while many patients with clubfoot are successfully corrected with non-surgical methods, sometimes the deformity cannot be fully corrected or it returns, frequently because treatment program is difficult for parents to follow.</p><p>TABLE OF CONTENT</p><p>Introduction</p><p>Chapter 1 Club Foot</p><p>Chapter 2 Causes</p><p>Chapter 3 Symptoms</p><p>Chapter 4 Diagnosis</p><p>Chapter 5 Treatment</p><p>Chapter 6 Prognosis</p><p>Chapter 7 Foot Drop</p><p>Chapter 8 Cerebral Palsy</p><p>Epilogue</p>...9780463213278_Kenneth Keelibro_electonico_dafe0ac1-cd7a-382b-84c1-692dbd2917c0_9780463213278;9780463213278_9780463213278Kenneth KeeInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/smashwords-epub-8e049b51-16ac-46b5-9035-0fe5d597429a.epub2018-06-13T00:00:00+00:00Kenneth Kee
