Club Foot Reconstructive Surgery

My son had club foot reconstructive surgery as a 5 month old. He is 15 years old now and just last November had a "follow up" surgery. During this last one, two of the 4 bones at the top of the foot were removed as they stuck up to a point they pinched his leg as he walked. Since surgery, his toes on that foot have become awkwardly bent, especially the 2nd and 4th toe. When he walks, it feels like he is stubbing his toes every time he brings his foot down. His foot is fine, no pain except for at the top where the bones were removed which we are being told is most likely just a symptom of weak muscles that are still in the progress of being developed. However, nobody seems to know what to do about those bent toes. They curve downward and sort of underlap each other to the inside of the foot. A Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon did the surgery and I wouldn't ever call him uncaring because he's been wonderful, but he's making us feel he's done all he can. (And to be fair, he did what he set out to do). Would going to a Podiatrist to see if anything can be done (I'm thinking orthopaedic devices for shoes, etc) for that toe pain be silly?? Does anyone struggle with bent toes and what do you do to relieve the pain?

I assume that by "bent," toes you mean that they are contracted. Toes become contracted due to an imbalance between the extensor and flexor muscles to the toe, which could occur for a number of reasons. But it may be that the "stubbing" of the toes is due to an incompletely corrected and persistent equinus of the foot. It would be rather presumptuous of me, or anyone simply reading your post and not having the ability to examine your son, to meaningfully comment on precisely why he is having the problems you report and what might be done for them. That's way beyond the capability of this or any forum.
