How To Adjust The Limb Length Due To Calcaneal Valgus?
Hi dr. Excuse me first for weak English writing. My child was diagnosed as a case of Calcaneal Valgus at birth day. We start treatment from birth day. Sonography analysis from hip didn’t show any abnormality. Physician treated her using casting method for three periods (each period 10 days). My child problem was fixed for 80%. But major worry is about limb length discrepancy because affected limb is evidently shorter than healthy limb. I am very worry. How can I fix this problem? Help me please

In my opinion simple physical therapy including streching of the short limp and strengthing of the normal limp can fix it 100 percent i have preformed this successfully many times do not see any reason to worry since it is not a real leg length discrepancy
Good Luck
