Orthopaedic Surgery
Sonya
After Sonya's parents did extensive research about club feet, they brought her to the Center for Clubfoot to see Joshua Hyman, MD. Because clubfeet can be detected on sonograms, many children can begin treatment at birth. But Sonya was one year old and had a severe case. Dr. Hyman elected to perform surgery with a slightly different technique so that she could also be treated with the Ponseti method. "Sonya skips, hops and jumps," says Sonya's mother about her three year old. "You would never know."Sonya finished treatments before she entered kindergarten.
