He's not walking yet, but his daycare teachers were concerned it might be an issue when we get to that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2179412 Fri, 15 May 2015 09:05:31 +0000 Worrywart 2179412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: So glad it went well!!

It's amazing how fast kids rebound. Hope recovery continues to go well :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2179176 Thu, 14 May 2015 23:43:07 +0000 MaisyMay 2179176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: Had surgery today, went well. Surgery was only about 60-90 minutes, and then we just had to wait for her to finish waking up. We left the hospital around 1:15, were home around 2, and she was walking around the livingroom in her socks by 3. I'll add more of an update later on, but wanted to let you all know. @Worrywart: @knittylady: @Orchid: @Ra: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2137173 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 18:41:50 +0000 MaisyMay 2137173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: Looks similar, but affecting his 3rd toe. </p> <p>@MamaG: @Grace: Since it's affecting how she walks and she tells us it hurts, we are going to have it treated. Glad to hear that not everybody needs to though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2136784 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:24:38 +0000 Ra 2136784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Hmm...I can't tell if Brady has the same thing. His look more jumbled. I'll have to ask our pediatrician next appointment. He brought it up about a year ago but said he'd just keep an eye on it. </p> [attach=2606/15/nmi5x3.600x450.image.jpg] [attach=2606/15/nmi5x4.450x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2136762 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:11:55 +0000 MamaG 2136762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: My toes are like this too! I never had surgery, my pediatrician always said to leave them be unless I was bothered. So here I am at 40 with curly toes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2136753 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 14:05:19 +0000 Grace 2136753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I have toes like this! I never knew there was a surgery for that. Huh. But mine never hurt me (unless the nail from the one gets long enough to cut into the other toe), so maybe that's why I didn't need to have them fixed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2136722 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:45:44 +0000 MaisyMay 2136722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Worrywart: Will do. Also you can walk me at any point and I will share what we know. Her surgeon is the assistant chief of pediatric Ortho from Stanford so I know she is in good hands. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2136713 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:37:30 +0000 Worrywart 2136713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: This is exactly what DD's looks like!! Please keep me posted on everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2136709 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 13:33:56 +0000 MaisyMay 2136709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: @Orchid: @knittylady: @Worrywart: This is her left foot from two angles. She isn't putting any pressure or weight on it in the pics so it isn't as bad as when walking or standing. </p> [attach=407/15/nmi3kk.600x337.WP_20150407_010.jpg] [attach=407/15/nmi3km.600x337.WP_20150407_011.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135663 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 19:00:05 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 2135663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No experience with that surgery, but experience with inpatieny/outpatient surgeries on kids, if you have more general questions I can try to help. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135654 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 18:53:37 +0000 knittylady 2135654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS 2 has a curled pinky toe on each foot.. I wondered if this had a name or could be an issue... Keep us updated and good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135543 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:51:31 +0000 MaisyMay 2135543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ra: I will post a pic when we get home.</p> <p>@Worrywart: It didn't start bothering her until nearly 2, but now you can see her compensate when she runs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135484 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:05:34 +0000 Worrywart 2135484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we will have to deal with this as well. We went to an orthopedic surgeon right after she turned 1 and they said as long as it's not bothering her and she's walking fine, then it's not urgent. She's now 2 1/2 and walks/runs around just fine. We would only do it for cosmetic reasons. I would love to hear about your appointment and if you go through with the surgery. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135481 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 16:04:58 +0000 Ra 2135481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: Do you mind posting a picture? I think my son has what you are describing (on both feet) and it doesn't seem to be correcting itself. I've been wondering what the next steps would be. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135261 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:37:50 +0000 Orchid 2135261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we may have to deal with this. We've just been watching it for now, but will bring it up at our LO's 15 month visit to the pediatrician. From what I read, the recovery is not too bad at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anybody-deal-with-curly-toe-surgery#post-2135232 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:19:51 +0000 MaisyMay 2135232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Any mom here have to deal with Curly Toe surgery? My LO is 2 years, 3 months, and her 4th toe folds under her third on her left foot, and the pinky toe has shifted over to accommodate. We will be having the surgery in May to correct this, and her pre-op appt is at the end of this month. Some people opt to wait and see if it self-corrects, but LO has been saying it hurts and doesn't want us to touch it, so it's time to get it fixed.</p> <p>I was just wondering if anybody else has been through this and what the experience was like. I've not been able to read much about the recovery time, and only really found one blog that discussed it. She will have to be completely out for the surgery which is supposed to be brief. </p>
