The earlier the treatment of congenital clubfoot is, the better. Deformity will put a burden on the child's bones, and this burden will become more and more serious after the child learns to walk, eventually leading to bone deformity.
Since this disease does not involve bone problems at the beginning, and children's bones are in the process of development, doctors generally do not perform bone-related surgery. If surgery is required, it is a tendon surgery. Under general anesthesia, a small incision is made above the heel bone to cut the Achilles tendon, and then a plaster cast is applied. After the surgery, it is necessary to continue to wear corrective devices, as clubfoot is a disease that is very easy to recur.
Only parents can understand how difficult it is to raise a child. Once a child is diagnosed with a disease like this, parents have to accompany their child to treat the disease for many years, not just one or two days.
Any parent who hears what the doctor says will be instantly confused.
What is the most feared thing about curing an illness? The time it takes. There is no filial son by the bed of a long-term patient, and the emphasis is on the length of time.
It was a fatal disease, but it would also affect the child's future and life, so the parents had to treat the child. The child's mother called her husband at work. There were arguments and quarrels during the phone call, and the arguments were basically about how the child got the disease and how much it would cost to treat the disease. Even though they quarreled, the parents who loved their children were not stingy with the money, but they were afraid that the money would not be enough to cure the disease.
Ordinary people have always been worried about diseases that cannot be cured. Whenever they hear a doctor say that a disease will take a long time to cure, the smart family members can hear the doctor's hidden meaning that it is difficult to say whether the disease can be completely cured.
The mother who had just brought her child to the hospital to see him because he had a fever never expected such a result. She sat there with a bewildered and hopeless look on her face. The child had received an injection and was unconscious. He was sleeping after getting comfortable.
Doctors are conditional in their ability to comfort patients and their families. Patients and their families come to the hospital to seek medical treatment for the doctor's skills. If the doctor's skills cannot meet the requirements of patients and their families, the comforting words he prescribes will have little effect.

In China, communities with the necessary conditions will arrange for such social personnel in hospitals. As they are non-medical personnel, they have a common bond with the family members and can complement the medical personnel and provide appropriate psychological comfort and support to the family members of patients.
However, at this stage, there are relatively few social charity organizations. Some are medical fraudsters who come to the hospital to make money and empty the pockets of ordinary people. Once again, it shows that the economy determines everything. Without the economic foundation, not many people have time to be kind, and they are all busy with their own survival. Under such circumstances, the warmth of the patients has become an alternative way for domestic patients to get spiritual comfort.
After seeing the patient, Liu Huaiyu prescribed a treatment plan for the child. First, complete all the examinations to determine whether it is a simple clubfoot, try outpatient correction, and if it doesn't work, do the Ponseti therapy, which is the Achilles tendon surgery mentioned above. Examination and treatment require the family to discuss and agree. The doctor will not force the parents of the child, but can only make suggestions.
In fact, the child's condition was not serious at all. Several young doctors did not quite understand why the deputy chief physician came down to see the child in person after receiving the call.
Liu Huaiyu came down to ask a few young people whether they had performed the surgery last night.
