I wish to tap the infinite wisdom of the community.
I have recently become aware of the case of a young lady of 8 yo who presents with a severe case of severs. She cannot “go out” at playtime much less do PE and her quality of life is being severely affected.
Her Podiatrist has (i am told) put her in a night splint to dorsiflex the foot to 90 degrees (which is the full available dorsiflexion).
This is not a treatment i have come across before and i am a little confused by it. I would have imagined dorsiflexing the foot will apply more tensile stress on the growth plate and impeed healing.
