My son was born with bi-lateral clubfoot and had casting as a baby and surgery at 12months of age. He has done very well, doing sports and generally being quite active. Since he has become a teenager he has experienceed more pain and has trouble keeping up in sports. If he over does it he can be unable to walk for a day or so. He suffers a great deal of pain. He now interested in surgery to help with the pain but he wants to stay in sports. What kind of surgery is available for him and will he be able to be as active as he wants? What kind of future will he have with surgery or without?
