Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

If the problem is present only on one side, and his other developmental milestones are normal, this need not be attributed to cerebral palsy (CP). Most likely its is a minor club foot on one side. If its still there at 2 years of age, I would suggest surgical correction after opinion of a pediatric orthopedist. Usually only a minor procedure(achilles tendon release) will be sufficient. Since you have not mentioned location, I couldn't suggest a particular doctor or hospital

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Muhammed Aslam TK, Pediatrician
