Dear Doctor

May 2020

Question:

What advice can I get for the care of my child 2 years using orthopedic brace, any resources you can share with me for support?

- Massachusetts (Parent)

Answer:

This depends on what type of brace your child is using and for which condition. 
Information about club feet is here: https://orthokids.org/Condition/Clubfoot
If your child is in a brace for Blount's disease or bow legs, that information is here: https://orthokids.org/Condition/Bowed-Legs-Knock-Knees
If your child is in a brace for DDH, that information is here: https://orthokids.org/Condition/Developmental-Dysplasia-of-the-Hip-(DDH)
