18 Year Old Female Chronic Toe Walking Surgery

Restoring Heel-Toe Gait in an 18-Year-Old Female with Persistent Toe Walking

In this engaging and educational video, we follow the 7-month recovery journey of an 18-year-old female who underwent surgery to correct chronic toe walking. Despite being told she would eventually outgrow it, her toe walking persisted well past the age of 8, which is uncommon. After trying various conservative treatments, the decision was made to undergo surgery to restore her heel-toe step movement.

Witness her remarkable progress as she demonstrates improved passive and active range of motion at each stage of her recovery. This video highlights the importance of addressing chronic toe walking in a timely manner and showcases the positive impact of the surgery on her gait, quality of life, and pain relief. Note that the normalization of gait may occur at different rates for different patients.

I'm in my 60s and I've been a toe walker my entire life. It wasn't noticeable when I was wearing very high heels but it's noticeable now.

I have a 13 year old toe walker. We just met w a surgeon regarding possibly getting this and he stated that she would need to wear AFO braces 23 hours a day for about 6 months after the surgery. Is this normal?

I'm a 17 year old boy and I walk on my toes. It's not as extreme as in the video. I think it might be the cause of my limp. Could achilles tendon stretches make it go away? I understand that I should probably consult a doctor, but is there a chance that that could fix it on its own?

My 13 year old son needs this. Could you please provide a general cost estimate? More or less than 5000$?

Quick question, is there a correlation between this and your ankle dorsiflexion ? Because when I stretch it I feel a burning pain in my Achilles and I’m unable to get my knee over my toe despite all the stretching I’ve tried
