Hi All

I'm looking for some advice please:
I have a five year old patient, female, who continues to tip toe walk after a year of orthotic intervention and stretching/treatment regimes from physiotherapy and parental input.
On review last week, her gastroc, achilles, were not nearly so tight as o/e 6/12 ago. I referred her for bilat. XR last week, as it felt as if ankle dorsiflexion was physically impinged in the ankle mortice.
The Consultant Radiologist has reported "much of the medial malleolus is composed of epiphyseal cartilage".
Is this normal for the child's age? Would it inhibit ankle dorsiflexion? Prognosis/treatment options if indicated?
Many thanks in advance,
