Hi all,

I have been receiving recently quite a few referrals for children with digital deformites, usually adductovarus digits of the 3rd or 4th toes. These toes deformities are flexible and usually unilateral.
I have been looking into newer treatments/interventions for these toes. Much of what I have read suggests that taping and splinting are not great treatments for these toes. I have been looking more into manipulation/stretching for the parents to do.
I have been creating silicon toe props/wedges for these children as they produce a good aesthetic results - however I am well aware that when the device is removed the toe will return to its 'natural' position. Is there any point in trying to straighten these toes?
I'm looking for other treatments/interventions that I can try on these little children some of which are only 8weeks old.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Kirsten
