3 rd visit to orthopedic doctor

9.12.2017

I have decided to book L a visit to another orthopedic doctor. I was in dark, started reading and learning about vascular malformations. Studied medical terms, to discuss issues with doctors and understand their medical language.

On 9.12.2017 we saw Dr G. Al-A., orthopedic podiatrist in Al-Habib Takhassusi.

Diagnosis: Cavus Foot type, Pes Equinus, Charrot Marry Tooth Syndrome?

We did x-ray standing of ther feet, booth feet AP, lateral.

Result: No plan radiograph evidence of acute fractures, dislocations, focal bony of significant soft tissue lesions.

Recommendations: Visit to the Pediatric Neurologist for examination (Charrot Marry Tooth Syndrome).

In the meantime, I was searching the net. Found articles of vascular malformations in the muscles of the calf presenting as Achilles contractions. I printed articles and was showing them to the doctors.
It seemed, they were not familiar with the subject, some took me not seriously, excluding the connection between the malformation and the shortening of the limb, cavus foot type, Achilles tendon shortening and toe walking as a result.
